9 February: Andy Bell - 'Will You Be There?' single released this week

Today the veil of secrecy is lifted and I am very excited to be able to announce that Andy Bell's new single 'Will You Be There?' - released under the name of Mimó - is released in the UK this week (March in the US) and is available to download from iTunes and all major online retailers.

Produced by pop maestro Pascal Gabriel (Dido, Kylie, Ladyhawke) and capturing the essence of the dance floor classics and unforgettable pop anthems that made his name, Will You Be There? includes remixes by Seamus Haji, Sonic C and French Horn Rebellion, which push the boundaries of club classics.

Why all the secrecy up until now? Well, Andy was keen to his new solo material under a pseudonym and chose the name Mimó as a tribute to a good friend, Tomeau Mimó. Sadly however there is already a musician working as Mimo who has legally blocked Andy from using a variation of that name for this project, so from this point forwards all further releases will be come out under Andy's own name.

There will be more news about Andy's album very soon, see Andy's website to hear some music and for more details...
