The King Returns!
Elvis Presley Tops Music Charts Across The Globe Once Again With New Album ‘If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’ Out Now On Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings

“5 stars-the album is a beautiful reminder of how perfectly pure Presley’s voice was”
--Chicago Sun Times

If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the remarkable new album featuring classic Elvis Presley vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniment, has catapulted the King of Rock n Roll to the top of the music charts once again! Released on Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings worldwide to much acclaim on October 30, ‘If I Can Dream’ is topping charts around the world-it has debuted at #1 on the official UK and Australia album charts and #2 in Ireland. The album has also made an impressive impact on the Billboard US music charts, debuting at #1 on Top Classical Crossover, #9 on Top Current Albums and #21 on the Top 200.

This record-breaking achievement places Elvis Presley as the only solo recording artist to have a UK #1 album in each of past five decades, beginning in 1956 with Elvis Presley Rock N’ Roll.

Produced by Nick Patrick and Don Reedman—and executive produced by Priscilla Presley-- If I Can Dream creates a fuller, richer sound behind classic vocals. The collection also highlights Elvis Presley’s diverse musical tastes and appreciation for great vocalists spanning a variety of genres and features classic Elvis vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniment, a duet with best-selling Jazz Pop singer Michael Bublé, and appearances by Italian operatic pop trio Il Volo and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Duane Eddy.

Executive producer Priscilla Presley said: “This is an album that Elvis always really wanted to do and he would have been so pleased to know his fans are still there and they continue to love his music. The most talented team put this album together and helped us all realize an unfulfilled dream.”

Here is what critics have been saying:
