After the success of their triumphant return on 2017’s album The F to Z of Pop, which bridged the classic Bucks Fizz sound with modern pop and mixing old favorites with new material, the band now have written another chapter into their incredible story.

Smoke & Mirrors sees pop royalty The Fizz – Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston – once more teaming up with Mike Stock, of legendary hitmaking trio Stock Aitken and Waterman, on a collection of original songs written and produced for The Fizz, that are as effervescent as ever. The album was recorded at Mike Stock’s studio in Surrey.

Each song on the album was written by Mike specifically with The Fizz in mind, helping to create a deeper, layered sound littered with auto biographical references to the band’s lives and career. Cheryl’s daughter Kyla Stroud also contributes writing credits on the album.

The one notable exception is the song From Here To Eternity, co-written in the 1990’s with fellow Stock Aitken and Waterman founder Matt Aitken, and reimagined for the album. The song has a particular importance on the record as the band recorded the vocals the first day Jay got her cancer diagnosis – which she subsequently beat.

The Fizz continue to reach out to their ever-increasing circle of fans, constantly expanding their live shows and delighting audiences worldwide with the timeless sound of The Fizz.
