Multi-platinum selling and 2 x Brit Award nominated British soul singer Kenny Thomas, who rose to prominence with a string of hits in the 90’s has announced a brand new album and March 2026 UK Tour.

‘Unstoppable’ is Kenny’s 5th studio album, and his first in 15 years. Released on 8th August on Kartel, the album features a collaboration with long-time friend, Kim Wilde. The first taste of the album, new single ‘If I Can’t Have You’, is out now. The track blends classic soul textures with a fresh edge, reaffirming Kenny’s status as one of the UK’s most enduring vocal talents.

‘The Unstoppable Tour: The Very Best of Kenny Thomas’ will begin at the Glasshouse in Gateshead on 19 March, before travelling onto Manchester, the London Eventim Apollo for what will be Kenny’s biggest ever headline show, and Southend, before its finale at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

The tour dates coincide with the 35th anniversary of Kenny’s debut album ‘Voices’, which saw him make an instant impact on the charts with singles such as ‘Thinking About Your Love’, ‘Outstanding’, and ‘Best of You’.

Kenny will perform all of these hits, plus a selection of soon to be fan favourites from ‘Unstoppable’ on this UK tour, which sees him cap off a remarkable resurgence story.

From his 90s heyday of multi-platinum singles and albums, BRIT Award nominations and an incredible run of Top of the Pops performances (9 performances in just 3 years), Kenny’s life took an abrupt turn in dealing with the incredibly rare terminal illness of his daughter Christina.

Through miraculous endeavour however, involving rare treatment Kenny worked to provide funding for, Christina survived, though still requires regular care.

This incredible turn-around in recent years ran in tandem with a resurgent musical career which has seen Kenny re-establish himself, and then some. In 2024 he completed his biggest ever UK tour, which included a sold out show at the London Palladium.

On this momentous comeback, Kenny says:

“What a journey it’s been so far! I’m extremely excited about the upcoming release of my new album ‘Unstoppable’. It’s my first studio album in 15 years and honestly, I think it’s some of my best work to date. I’m sure my fans will connect with it and enjoy listening to it.

“They’ve been with me from the beginning and we now have my biggest ever UK tour on sale including the legendary Eventim Apollo in London which is all because of them. I love performing and we can’t wait to take these songs on the road as well as the hits that my fans expect.”

With ‘Unstoppable’, Kenny returns with a pertinently titled new album that harks back to the soulful sound his fans know and love, whilst adding in a modern funk sound full of bombastic beats, bold rhythms and blazing bass lines, delivered just in time for the hottest days of summer.
