Rise Up is a music album by British pop singer Cliff Richard , which was released on November 23, 2018 by Warner Music . It has been Richard's first album with new songs since 2004 ( Somethings 'Goin' On ).

Four singles were released from the album: 'Rise Up', 'Reborn', 'Everything That I Am' and 'The Miracle Of Love'. The title track 'Rise Up' was written by Terry Britten, who previously wrote the successful songs 'Devil Woman' and 'Carrie' for Richard. The album also includes a duet between Richard and Olivia Newton John ('Everybody's Someone').

background

The album was created after Richard's legal battle with the BBC . About the title of the album he says: "I chose 'Rise Up' as the title track because after the bad period I went through in my life, I've managed to rise up out of what seemed like a quagmire". (German: "I chose 'Rise Up' as the title track, because after this bad period in my life I managed to get out of what seemed like a swamp.") Richard also hopes that the album will bring a younger generation to be discovered by listeners.

Commercial win

The album has sold over 100,000 copies in the UK so far , earning it a gold record.
