The Love Song and Ronan Keating
Ronan Keating, chart-topping singer songwriter, chooses the Tracks of My Years. There's the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster.
Ronan Keating, chart-topping singer songwriter and TV and radio presenter, chooses the Tracks of My Years. Since the original break-up of Boyzone, one of the most successful British bands of the Nineties, Ronan has forged a hugely successful solo career: two back-to-back No.1 singles straight out of the gate, 30 consecutive Top 10 singles, 10 studio albums, multiple tours, 20 million records sold on top of the 25 million sold with Boyzone.
Last July, twenty years after the release of his self-titled debut solo album, Ronan returned with his brand new long player 'Twenty Twenty'. For some of the tracks Ronan called in a few of his celebrity friends including Country music superstar Shania Twain who lends her vocals to ‘Forever And Ever, Amen’, ‘The Big Goodbye’ – written in memory of his Boyzone band mate Stephen Gately - he's joined by good friend Robbie Williams and Nina Nesbitt duets with him on ‘The One’.
‘Twenty Twenty’ also sees Ronan revisit three of his biggest hits. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Alison Krauss stars on his most-loved hit ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ with Ed Sheeran on guitar. The album also features reworked versions of ‘Life is a Rollercoaster’ and ‘Lovin’ Each Day’.
Ronan is also a regular guest presenter on The One Show on 91Èȱ¬1, and co-hosts a show on commercial radio.
The next two tracks he has chosen come from Elton John and U2. Ken also has your love song dedications plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
