LIFTED FROM THE ELVIS INSPIRED ALBUM PRODUED BY DAVID FOSTER AND FEATURES DUETS WITH NICOLE SCHERZINGER AND KATHARINE MCPHEE

The UK is currently gripped by a resurgence of Elvis fever, with the announcement of a captivating new hologram show and the hugely popular Direct from Graceland exhibition in London dedicated to the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

And now, the iconic Engelbert Humperdinck joins forces with international Baku-born sensation EMIN to release their rendition of electrifying new single, "Help Me Make It Through The Night," taken from the forthcoming album Now or Never, a nod to the legendary Elvis Presley. Produced by the 16x GRAMMY award-winning maestro David Foster, known for his work with luminaries such as Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Aretha Franklin, Now or Never arrives on 9 February 2024.

It's a story that spans over a decade when EMIN, the international recording sensation, first crossed paths with the legendary Engelbert Humperdinck in Baku. Engelbert was representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest, and EMIN was the half-time guest performer. An unexpected friendship blossomed, transcending borders and cultures in true Eurovision style, culminating in this heartwarming and surprising duet.

EMIN shares, "Ever since I was a teenager, I have loved the music of Engelbert. I have a treasured photograph of my mother holding an Engelbert album taken when she was a young girl, and it is a dream come true for me to have created this wonderful duet with the legend that is Enge."

Recently, Engelbert visited EMIN in Baku, where they unveiled their single to a roaring crowd of over 10,000 fans. In July 2024, Engelbert will return to Baku, and there are hopeful plans for the dynamic duo to embark on a UK and European tour.

"Help Me Make It Through The Night" is just a taste of the heartfelt homage that Now or Never pays to the classics EMIN and the rest of us hold dear. Meticulously selecting 12 of the most beloved and soul-stirring Elvis-inspired love songs, the album includes the hit single "Suspicious Minds," the tender and romantic "Can't Help Falling In Love," and the iconic film title track, "Love Me Tender," featuring the extraordinary Nicole Scherzinger, who is currently captivating audiences in Sunset Boulevard on the West End.

Building on the success of the 2023 release of the original classic "Blue Christmas," with Foster at the helm, responsible for producing the 10x platinum album "Christmas" by Michael Bublé (one of the UK's highest-selling Christmas records), Now or Never promises to be a musical milestone. David Foster, known for his legendary work on iconic songs like Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing," Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart," and Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me," came out of retirement exclusively for this project.

EMIN reflects, "This album is a dream come true. I started my musical career listening to Elvis, learning to write music based on what Elvis was singing. Meeting David Foster 10 years ago, performing some of Elvis' songs with him, gave me enough confidence to believe we might collaborate one day. Now, we've created this beautiful album together. David and I handpicked some of Elvis' best songs, and I'm grateful for how incredible he has made this project. As a producer, David elevates every artist's work, and he's done the same for me. This is the best piece of music I've ever done!"
