In a much-awaited return to the international pop music scene, Albert Hammond makes a big mark on 2010, writing and producing with British phenom Duffy and releasing a new duets album featuring the greatest hits of his remarkable career.

Albert Hammond teamed up with Duffy to write and produce her new album “Endlessly” out November 29th on A&M Records. The new album follows up Duffy’s enormously successful 2008 debut “Rockferry” which sold 6.5 million copies worldwide and earned the singer 3 BRITs and a Grammy award. Written and recorded in New York, Spain and London over the past year and a half, the new album has formed a unique partnership between Hammond and Duffy. Their cosmic sonic connection merges past and future with Duffy's soulful vocal stylings on the duo's timeless lyrics and melodies, along with tracks featuring the rhythmic prowess of hip-hop band the Roots. The first single "Well, Well, Well" drops November 21st.

Also in 2010, Hammond completes work on a new album featuring an international array of artists performing with him on duets of his most loved hits as a songwriter in English and Spanish. Artists appearing on the record include Al Stewart, Cliff Richard, Bonnie Tyler, Helena Paparizou, Courtney Taylor (Dandy Warhols), Raphael, Rosario, Ana Belen, David Summer (Los Hombres G), Dani Martin (El Canto del Loco), and a first-ever duet with his son Albert Hammond, Jr. (The Strokes). The album comes out later this year on Sony Spain.
