The star’s first single to be released is ‘Bracken Road’, which is from his selections of Hopkins’ 1947: Suite for Solo Piano and Orchestra.
Speaking in a statement, Hopkins said, “Music was my first desire, my first wish.
“I’ve been composing music all my life. Some of these pieces have lived with me for decades, and I still find myself returning to them.”

Additionally, a press release disclosed that ‘Bracken Road’ is “inspired by childhood memories of Margam, South Wales” and “is a nostalgic musical portrait of the streets, meadows, farmland and mountains that surrounded his family home in the 1940s.”
Hopkins added, “My whole life is a dream. Signing with Decca is the honour of a lifetime.
“It has been a true privilege to collaborate with the distinguished Philharmonia Orchestra and the virtuoso soloists, cellist Gregorio Nieto and classical pianist Sergio Tiempo.
“My deepest gratitude and respect go to Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, whose artistry is an integral part of this musical journey.
“With the graceful precision of his baton, he transformed each note with profound and indelible meaning, creating a pictorial landscape that invites the listener to feel and imagine something uniquely personal.”
