The artistic duo recently released ‘One Voice’ (see video https://youtu.be/0plWNDyA6Ig), written by Ruth Moody, co-founder of The Wailin' Jennys. Said Brian May on brianmay.com: "This track is Art for Art’s sake. To me, it’s something I’m already proud of, with a magnificent vocal performance by Kerry Ellis, but also it has a crystal clear human message - “You have a voice … your voice CAN make a difference”.
The Brian May & Kerry Ellis’ project was born after the meeting of the two artists during the auditions for the debut of We Will Rock You the Musical in London where Kerry played the original role as Meat. Brian May produced her debut studio album 'Anthems' on 2010 followed by Anthems Tour on 2011. The following Born Free Tour was presented as a series of intimate and acoustic shows performed under candlelight where the pair perform to raise awareness of their work for the Born Free Foundation. Ellis and May released a live album from the first leg of The Born Free Tour, Acoustic by Candlelight' released on 2013.
