Shola Ama and The Corrs have joined Gabrielle, Declan McKenna, Tricky and Nuno Bettencourt as ambassadors for this year's National Album Day.
They all follow in the footsteps of 2022 ambassadors Jake Bugg, Pip Millett, Franz Ferdinand, KSI, The Mysterines, Sam Ryder and The Staves.
Returning for its sixth edition on October 14, this year's theme is the influence of the '90s and 75 years of the album format, following previous year's themes of women in music, the '80s, and debut albums, among others. Shola Ama said:
“Overjoyed to be an ambassador for NAD celebrating the 90’s. The late 90’s was Such a great time for British music, especially for UK Soul and R&B , and now just over 25 years since the release of my album “ much love “ it’s been really nice to get the chance to revisit some songs and memories from that time and celebrate the album with a vinyl release - I love that vinyl is coming back into fashion .”
“We're delighted to be ambassadors for this year's National Album Day to celebrate the art of the album! Forgiven, Not Forgotten was our debut album originally released 28 years ago back in 1995," added The Corrs. "Its release came at such a special moment in time for us and it's been a real pleasure revisiting the memories as we've put together this special limited edition recycled colour vinyl.”
National Album Day began back in 2018, and is currently presented in association with official audio partner Bowers & Wilkins and official broadcast partner BBC Sounds. A list of exclusive '90s records that are being released or re-issued on vinyl and CD for the event will be announced here on September 13.
