 | | Simon Webbe in the video for Ride The Storm |
Released as a double A side with the title track from his latest album, Grace, the track is taken from the new blockbuster, Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. Simon was a big fan of the original superhero flick, so when he heard there was a sequel being made, he decided he had to be part of it and set about making a tune for it. "I love the Fantastic 4. As soon as I heard they were releasing a second movie, I wrote a track specifically for it," he explained. "I sent the demo of the song into Fox [the film鈥檚 producers] and they said yes straight away. I couldn鈥檛 believe it. I鈥檝e always wanted to have a song on a movie soundtrack and you don鈥檛 get bigger than a big Hollywood blockbuster! I鈥檓 absolutely delighted."

It's a gig that he wasn't expecting but is really looking forward to. "I thought my show was going to be at the Apollo. I pictured myself there, building up to the Arena. Now I鈥檓 jumping in at the deep end, but I鈥檓 ready for it." Ride The Storm/Grace is out on Innocent Records on Mon 18 Jun. Before that, Simon Webbe plays the Arena on Sat 9 Jun.
