Retro Pop - August 2023

Wham! Bam! George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley grace the cover of this month's RETROPOP, celebrating 40 years of the iconic pop duo!
In a bumper 10-page feature, we revisit Wham!'s chart-topping career, release-by-release, and speak exclusively with the producers behind the feature-length Netflix documentary and the legendary Pepsi & Shirlie.
Also in this month's issue, we meet the group taking on the roles of Take That in the new movie musical 'Greatest Days'; the brilliant Bonnie Tyler stops by to celebrate 40 years of Total Eclipse of the Heart; Aussie singing sensation Tina Arena tells all about her first album in eight years; and we explore how Blur came to define the Britpop era and carve a 30-year career!
We also celebrate the life and legacy of Tina Turner with 20 of her biggest hits; chat with Richard James Burgess about his time with synth-pop pioneers Landscape; catch up with '80s new wave star Josie Cotton about her return to music; and speak with Razorlight's Björn Ågren about reuniting the classic line-up.
Plus, electro-pop star Georgia introduces her excellent new album, 'Euphoric' and the new soul sensation on the scene, Acantha Lang, talks to us about her phenomenal debut LP.
All that and more in the latest issue of RETROPOP!
