‘Military Wives’ official soundtrack – out now!

Julia Hudson • March 12, 2020

Launched on 6th March alongside ‘Military Wives’ the film, we’re excited to announce we’ve featured on a new album with Decca Records; the film’s Official Soundtrack!

The soundtrack features new tracks by the on-screen cast with the real-life Military Wives Choirs, celebrating the shared experiences of the women whose lives were changed forever by conflict. Also featured are songs which illustrate the Military Wives Choirs’ musical lifetime to date, including the well-known ‘Wherever You Are’ from the charity’s early days through to the most recent single ‘Brave’, featuring Laura Wright.

Robbie Williams and longtime collaborator Guy Chambers have written a brand new track for the official soundtrack release, ‘Home Thoughts From Abroad’. Speaking about the song, Robbie and Guy said: “It’s always a joy to work together on new music, and we’re thrilled that our new song will be featured in this special film. We’re really proud of the track and can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

The ‘Military Wives’ Official Soundtrack is released on Decca Records and is out now and available to listen and purchase here.

We are delighted to have received a letter of thanks from The King, expressing his appreciation for our new single, ‘November Sunday’, a song presented as an early birthday gift to celebrate His Majesty’s forthcoming birthday on 14th November. In the letter, The King said: “I am writing to express my warmest possible gratitude for your very kind early birthday present, in the form of your new single, ‘November Sunday’. While those of us of a certain age may feel the need for any such birthday celebrations is in inverse proportion to our advancing years, I am none the less deeply touched by your wonderfully thoughtful tribute. “I also wanted to thank you for your steadfast support not only for your loved ones serving in our Military, who sacrifice so much time away from you and your families to protect us, but also for one another. “Having sung in a choir myself when I was at school, I know the joy of performing together can create close-knit friendships and support groups, and I remain a firm believer that music has a unique power to unite and inspire us all. My wife joins me in sending you all our blessings and kindest wishes.” ‘November Sunday’, released on 1st November, is a tribute to His Majesty and reflects the strong ties between the Royal Family and the Armed Forces. The song’s evocative lyrics reflect the joy brought to post-war Britain on 14th November 1948, marking the birth of the future King and celebrating the enduring bond with his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.  The piece was recorded by 100 singers from the Military Wives Choirs, drawn from the network in the UK and overseas, alongside the magnificent sounds of The Band of the Household Cavalry. With music and lyrics by John McLaren, the track brings together the nostalgia of the 1940s, enhanced by the artistry of platinum-selling producer Sean Hargreaves (Sigala, Paloma Faith, Ella Eyre) and arranger Steve Turner. This cross-genre production offers both the formality of a military ensemble and a bright, pop-influenced appeal. ‘November Sunday’ is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube: all links to the project can be found here .
