Having first met many years ago, and having sold more than 60 million records combined Abz Love (FIVE); Ben Ofoedu (PHATS & SMALL); Dane Bowers (ANOTHER LEVEL) and Shane Lynch (BOYZONE) have united to release their first single Stay Another Day featuring Tony Mortimer.
A cover of the East 17 classic Stay Another Day, it is a celebration of the band’s combined love of the music which changed so much of their lives during the 1990s, the decade which they now look to bring back to the fore in a time when audiences crave happiness and escapism.
The song was recorded by Boyz On Block and was never intended to be released as a single, until the record label and the bands management heard the track and realised how special it was, and immediately changed focus, with Stay Another Day becoming Boyz On Block’s debut single, All My Life is now planned for release in early 2021.
The band played the song to East 17s Tony Mortimer who said “I didn’t think Stay’ would be a single let alone achieve what it did and still have people into it 26 years later. It’s very humbling. I’m a huge fan of all the boys individually and I was really excited to hear their version collectively. I was honoured I could play the piano on it and Abz’s lead vocal has just blown me away, I love it. I think it’s a brilliant version”
First meeting 25 years ago, Abz, Ben, Dane and Shane became firm friends, in contrast to the public perception of band rivalries and quickly appreciated their chemistry and shared love of pop and R&B. The music of the 1990s provided the soundtrack to their lives and it has stayed with them to the present day, leading them to officially unite to reinterpret some of the tracks which meant so much to them.
Their first release is Stay Another Day, originally a hit for East 17 in 1994 - it is your first introduction to a project which looks to provide an antidote to COVID gloom and an explosion of 90s feel-good nostalgia, a decade the band feel has not yet been given the credit for the diverse, intelligent, timeless music it produced.
Released on DeeVu Records/Block Records, free from major label interference, Boyz on Block have linked up with ace producer Mike Rose, whose countless 90s hit records, from Kylie to East 17 to S Club 7, made him the perfect choice to capture the authentic feel of the decade. Accompanied by a stellar, cinematic fly on the wall music video, filmed by 19 year old Charlie Relph, Stay Another Day is the first release from Boyz on Block with further singles and an album already being lined up.
