She’s been busy playing Princess Fiona in the west end hit Shrek: The Musical and appearing in various TV shows so we’re kind of surprised Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh has finally released her first solo single.
The song, a cover of I’ll Fly Away, is the first release off Kimberley’s first solo album and unlike Cheryl and Nadine, 31-year-old Kimberley has decided to fill her album with cover versions of classic songs.
Speaking about the project she said: “’I really wanted to share the love I have for musical theatre by taking some classic songs and completely reinventing them.
“The melodies in so many musical songs are so brilliant I knew we could create something special by experimenting with the production and I really feel like we’ve come up with some interesting takes on classic songs.”
Whether you’re a fan of the single or not, you have to admit Kimberley looks stunning in the video and has decided to go for a timeless old Hollywood feel. Her hair and makeup are perfection and we’re loving her new sophisticated styling.
At least if the Girls Aloud comeback doesn’t take off she’ll always have something to fall back on…
