Ramin Karimloo appeared yesterday in Dress Circle's London store to sign copies of his latest album "Ramin." View photos below!

His new album features Ramin’s unique versions of ‘Till I Hear You Sing’ from Love Never Dies and ‘Music Of The Night’ from Phantom Of The Opera plus new single ‘Coming Home’ and much much more.

"I have a huge love for country and bluegrass, I love rock ‘n’ roll and I love what I’m doing, so it was how to balance all that," Ramin says of what was going on his head when he was approached by a major label to make an album. "I didn’t want to be just a theatre star putting out an album. It was only when they started talking about writing and bringing in other writers that I got interested. I wanted to have lived the songs. I wanted an album that was like a diary."

With influences as diverse as The Tragically Hip, Johnny Cash and Mumford and Sons, a straightforward West End leading man album of covers was never really on the cards. “I wanted to marry that rocky sound with things that people know me more for,” he says.

'Ramin' is produced by Tom Nichols, who has worked with world-class vocalists from Celine Dion to Hayley Westenra. It’s described as "a diary entry from one of the world’s great vocal talents that includes not only his own compositions but covers of Bryan Adams and Muse songs and his own take on the mighty Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera."
