When Ronan Met Burt

Lush orchestral reinterpretations of Burt Bacharach classics. Keating swaps his boyband pop for a sophisticated, raspy croon backed by a full live orchestra.

It's Ronan Keating doing his best Sinatra impression with the actual Burt Bacharach helping him out.

A sophisticated and sentimental journey through classic songwriting with a warm, orchestral embrace.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The swell of the brass section during the bridge of Walk on By which elevates the track into a cinematic experience.

Ronan's signature vocal rasp breaking slightly on the high notes of This House Is Empty Now, adding a layer of genuine heartbreak.

The playful, syncopated piano intro of I'll Never Fall in Love Again that perfectly captures the original Bacharach whimsy.
