‘Fragile’ is the first collection of new, original music from Grammy and Brit award winning musician Midge Ure in over a decade and is an album of beautifully crafted, atmospheric music recorded at Midge’s own studio in Bath.

‘Fragile’ is a culmination of influences garnered from a lifetime in the music business from one of Scotland’s foremost songwiriters. It shows elements of Ure’s musical journey displaying his accomplished guitar work (Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy) and the electronics and technology he has utilised since the late 1970’s (Visage, Ultravox). These elements combine and blend with ease thanks to his production and engineering skills. This really can be termed a ‘solo album’ as Midge has written, arranged, engineered, produced and played almost everything in his studio in Bath.

Atmospheric music from a skilled songwriter which swings from ‘Become’ and ‘Dark, Dark Night’ where he collaborated with fellow musician Moby and shows more than a passing a nod to his electronic roots, all the way to the heady, cinematic soundscape of ‘Fragile’ or ‘Star Crossed’ which could almost be termed ‘contemporary prog rock’ all sitting comfortably side by side on this latest offering.

“It’s all about songs with melody and atmosphere” Ure claims “musical influences hopefully don’t ever stop and I think on this album you can hear elements of the music which has shaped me over the years. Kind of wearing my musical heart on my sleeve”
