Elaine Paige is currently in New York recording a new album for Warner Bros Records that is being produced by the legendary Phil Ramone. The album will include duets of Elaine singing with the likes of Paul Anka, John Barrowman, Michael Bolton, Kenny G, Olivia Newton John, Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis, Billy Ocean , Lee Ann Rimes, Jon Secada, Neil Sedaka and Dionne Warwick. The album is scheduled for UK release in November.

"I am very excited by this project," Elaine said, "I have been waiting for this opportunity for 20 years to work with Phil - he's a true magician in the recording studio. And being able to sing with some of my idols, people I have admired for years, is an absolute pleasure, a dream come true!"

As an actress, recording artist, producer and broadcaster, Elaine Paige has made a major contribution to the modern musical genre.  She first came to fame when she created her award winning performance as Eva Peron in Evita in 1978. Shortly afterwards she originated the role of Grizabella in the original production of Cats and the classic song Memory became the first of Elaine's many hit records. Her subsequent theatre productions included Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, Billy, Anything Goes, Piaf, Sunset Boulevard in London and Broadway, The King and I, Sweeney Todd and Chess (with her record breaking Number One hit I Know Him So Well). She returned to the West End stage in 2007 in the title role of The Drowsy Chaperone.

Elaine has recorded 20 solo albums (four multi Platinum and eight consecutive Gold) and six cast albums.  In 2006 she released an album of songs from the stage entitled Essential Musicals.

Elaine presents her own show, Elaine Paige On Sunday, on BBC Radio 2 every Sunday.
