The lovely John Barrowman is making waves- sound waves that is. Yes, the hunky (sadly gay) star of Torchwood, Dr Who, and Any Dream Will Do, is turning his many talents towards the music industry and has recorded an album . The 40 year old star (40?? How did that happen, he looks 27!) has done an album of self deprecating cover classics including 'You're so Vain', and 'All by myself'. Oh John, with those sparkling eyes you can be vain, and I'm here to keep you company... Still, he promises us that he'll still be here for our entertainment on the small screen, as Torchwood season 2 is in production!
'I'm making series two at the moment, filming should finish at the end
of November and it'll go out in January. They'll hate me for saying it,
but it's actually doing better than Doctor Who in the US on BBC America.'
The
lovely John also explains just how he chose the songs on his album, and
how each one represents something special and personal to him. 'I wanted songs which related to me in some way. If I was
going to make a mix-tape for you, this would be it. They're related to
moments in time when I learned something or can relate it to someone. Time After Time relates to a friend of mine who was
telling his family that he was gay and HIV positive. He was expecting
an outrageous reaction. But when he got home there was a letter from
his father and a cassette with this song on it. The lyrics to me are
about the unconditional love of a parent to a child.'
