‘Stardom Road’ is a musical journey of cover songs that have influenced Marc throughout his life. Containing one new song, Redeem Me (Beauty Will Redeem The World), this collection features many of the genres that Marc has been associated with over the years, the 1950s crooners; the grand orchestral sounds of the1960s; the ‘over the top’ pop glam of the 70s and the electro-style of the 80s that made him famous as part of Soft Cell. The album has been compiled with the help of Tris Penna, the acclaimed producer Marius de Vries and arranger Mike Smith. It features guest spots from Antony Hegarty of Antony and The Johnson’s; Jools Holland, and Sarah Cracknell from St Etienne.
