Twiggy and Bill Wyman Join Forces for a Nostalgic Music Collaboration

In a striking return to the music scene, Twiggy, the iconic figure of the Swinging Sixties and accomplished model, marks an impressive comeback 48 years after the release of her inaugural self-titled album. At 74 years old, now known as Dame Lesley Lawson, Twiggy has embarked on a captivating musical venture with none other than the esteemed former bass guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman, aged 87.

A Blend of Past and Present

Combining talents, the duo has crafted an album that pays homage to the classic sounds of the 1930s to 1950s, blending piano, bass, guitar, and Twiggy's signature vocals. 'We have not announced it yet, but I have been working with Bill Wyman,' Twiggy reveals, adding a layer of anticipation for fans eager for the project's release. Their collaboration, born in the shadow of the Covid pandemic, blossomed over remote video calls, with Wyman curating a selection of period-specific tunes that resonated deeply with the former model.

Nurturing a Bygone Musical Era

Twiggy, whose film debut in 'The Boy Friend' was steeped in 1920s music, found her inspiration in the works of American musicians Mary Ford and Les Paul. This new album signals not only a resurfacing for Twiggy but also an exciting and somewhat nerve-wracking journey, as she explains on her podcast, 'Tea With Twiggy'. The album is expected to 'hopefully' be made available soon, to the delight of Twiggy's long-time followers and admirers of classic music melodies.

A Legacy Revisited

An emblem of an era, Twiggy's longstanding impact on pop culture extends beyond music. She reminisces about her serendipitous collaboration with David Bowie in the 1970s, which resulted in her featuring on the sleeve of his album 'Pin Ups'. Despite the hurdles of the time, including a missed opportunity for a Vogue cover due to editorial decisions, Twiggy's artistic presence continues to be celebrated and felt across generations. With this upcoming album, Twiggy, alongside Bill Wyman, is poised to bridge the gap between the musical past and present, creating a timeless experience for listeners.
