US songstress Alicia Keys is apparently singing the praises of 'North Wales', a Chris Moyles Parody song recorded here at Music 4. The song, a parody of her hit with rapper Jay-Z, Empire State of Mind, is being played every day this week by Radio 1's Chris Moyles show in the run up to Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Instead of waxing lyrical over Brooklyn and Harlem, 'Keys' praises the delights of Conwy and Llandudno Junction.
But the show revealed: "It's a tongue-in-cheek tribute by a session singer."

'Never Gonna Snow' is one of several original tracks co-written and produced by the team here at Music 4 for 'Chris Moyles - The Parody Album'. To see the fantastic video for this track, click here.

For the past six weeks, Music 4's MD Sandy Beech has been locked in the studio working on the forthcoming album from Chris Moyles. Chris Moyles - The Parody Album will be released on Sony Records on the 23rd of November but is available to pre-order now from HMV, Amazon or Play for delivery on the day of release.

Sandy believes people are going to really enjoy this album.

"Chris and I have worked very hard to rework the most popular parody songs played out on his Radio 1 show and take them to a whole new level. Every track has been recorded from scratch and several tracks feature guest appearances from the likes of Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Calvin Harris and more. In addition, we've written a number of brand new tracks including the very catchy 'It's Never Gonna Snow At Christmas' which should get everyone in a festive mood! Whether you are familiar with Chris's parody songs or not, this album will make you laugh out loud"

Chris Moyles - The Parody Album was produced by Sandy Beech and Chris Moyles, recorded, mixed and mastered here at Music 4 Studios with additional recording undertaken at Abbey Road Studios.
