With recent albums like "Crossover," "There and Back," and "Time Traveller," Norman continues to showcase his matured sound, filled with deeply personal lyrics and melodic arrangements. Even with remastered classics like "Baby I Miss You," Chris Norman demonstrates his enduring appeal, as well as his commitment to staying connected with his long-time fans while drawing in new listeners with his timeless music style.
