Do It Anyway

Peter Cunnah and Al Mackenzie, a.k.a. D: Ream land with their brand new, fifth studio album Do It Anyway, a well crafted, feel good blend of pop-electronic songs. Do It Anyway's songs draw on a combination of the duos current & past life experiences, a 30 year journey through pop music and UK club culture plus some wry geo-political commentary. When added to some finely honed song-writing skills that delivered ten Top 40 hit singles Do It Anyway proves to be an accomplished album. Collectively it's a set which brings fresh sonic elements and contemporary cultural references into the heart of the D: ream sound. Those themes cast their net across the modern zeitgeist. 'The Geek Who Rules The Rules' is a satirical barb directed at the oligarchs whose wealth gives them unprecedented power, while 'Anthem For Change' targets political corruption. There are more playful topics too. 'Funk U Up' is pure lustful party vibes and 'Famous For Nothing' explores the culture of celebrities whose sole skillset is being in the public eye D: Ream are probably best known for their hits Things Can Only Get Better and UR The Best Thing. However, there is so much more than that to discover. They scored two UK Top 10 albums: 1993's D: ream On Vo1 and 1995's World, plus ten Top 40 singles! Things Can Only Get Better was no.1 for four weeks in 1994 then was famously co-opted as the anthem in 1997 by Tony Blair's Labour Party, writing D: Ream into UK history; pop, political and otherwise! Do it Anyway will be released as the CD format with a 12 page booklet with liner notes + lyrics.
