Andy Bell has shared “The Chance Won’t Come Again,” a new collaboration with Tim Rice-Oxley that finds the two artists duetting for the first time. A bittersweet, dancefloor-ready pop song, the track balances romance and regret with a celebratory sheen. Rice-Oxley says, “It has been such an honour to work with one of my musical heroes on this song… The song is a real tears-on-the-dancefloor banger, full of romance and the pathos of missed opportunities. We had such a great time making it and we hope you love it.”
The release follows Bell’s recently completed first-ever solo North American tour, which featured a full live band including Grammy-winning producer and DJ Dave Audé, along with Jerry Fuentes, Sarah Tomek, and Chelsea King-Blank. It also arrives alongside Bell’s four-disc box set ‘The Crown Jewels,’ an expanded edition of his acclaimed solo album ‘Ten Crowns,’ which is out now via Crown Recordings. Limited to 4,000 copies worldwide, the set includes a 50-page booklet with new liner notes and previously unseen photography by Sean Black, offering a deeper look into Bell’s solo era.
