Five minute chat with soul legend Alexander O’Neal on his mature album, a tour and Prince

Dec 04 2017

 

 

Alexander O’Neal might not be as big a name as Prince (with whom he worked in 1981) but rest reassured that his soul music will live forever. Alexander O’Neal is in fact a global superstar and one of the best soul singers from the 80s. He came to prominence as an R&B singer in both the US and UK with a stream of hits that included If You Were Here Tonight, Saturday Love, Never Knew Love Like This’ & ‘Fake. Orginally signed in his early days by the late legend Prince, he has secured his name in the R&B history books, with a career that has spanned over thirty years. His much loved, chart smash Criticize  is still lighting up dance floors across the world today and became integral to the soundtrack of the teenage years of Generation X.
