The album serves as a heartfelt tribute to the late Cilla Black, showcasing songs that Shea initially wrote for the 60s icon to record herself. The newspaper's coverage highlights Shea's dedication to Cilla's music and the unique backstory of his passionate project.

The St. Helens Star article delves into the story behind the album, detailing how Shea's determination led to the songs reaching Cilla Black, despite her retirement from singing. The article also emphasizes the serendipitous rediscovery of the lost tape containing Shea's original recordings, which ultimately culminated in the album's release.
