Music... The Air That I Breathe is the 45th studio album by British pop singer Cliff Richard, released on 30 October 2020. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 3, which has seen Richard become the first artist to make the top five of the albums chart for eight consecutive decades.[1]

The album partly covers songs of The Beatles and Bee Gees, and the title track by The Hollies.[2]

On radio, the album was BBC Radio 2's 'Album of the Week' in its first week of release, with the lead single "Falling for You" in rotation (and has been so for several weeks).[3][4] The latest single "PS Please", featuring Mark Knopfler on lead guitar, has been added to the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist.[5][6]

In other media, the album has been part of the conversation when Richard was interviewed on Piers Morgan's Life Stories (ITV, UK) on 25 October 2020,[7] The One Show (BBC, UK) on 28 October 2020[8] and Sunrise (7, Australia) on 30 October 2020.[9] Richard was also featured singing his new song "PS Please" on Songs of Praise (BBC) on 1 November 2020.[10]
