As an admirer, I find Marti Pellow’s journey through his career with Wet Wet Wet truly captivating. It’s fascinating to see how a song like “Love Is All Around” transformed from a lovely tune to an international hit, touching millions of hearts along the way.
Marti Pellow openly shared that he couldn’t have foreseen the extraordinary success of Wet Wet Wet’s timeless hit “Love Is All Around,” marking three decades since its debut.
The Change + Check chorus led by Lorraine Kelly recently unveiled a fresh tune, featuring a unique interpretation of a song, as part of their ongoing efforts to boost awareness about breast cancer and advocate for early screenings.
Sharing in the joyous milestone and amplifying Pellow’s captivating campaign, I’ve had the privilege to collaborate alongside her. Reflecting upon our journey of creating that timeless track, I must admit, I never imagined it would continue to resonate with people for over three decades.
He remembered: “I seem to remember having a dinner with the leader of Phillips, who said, ‘Hey Marti, this is going to be a big hit,’ to which I responded, ‘I don’t think so.’
Though I found it beautiful, I didn’t anticipate its unexpected development. It grew beyond my expectations and left a deep impact.
The song was an international success and it spent 15 weeks at No. 1 in the British charts, with Pellow noting that it could have stayed there for longer “but we decided to put the song to bed”.
He playfully said, “It was high time for someone else to take a turn,” implying that he was looking forward to new opportunities. It was as if he had been indulging in chocolate every day and realized, ‘This is an exciting phase of your life; let’s move on to the next project.’
Currently, Pellow acknowledges that the situation feels like a “full circle” since the song continues to offer something new. Performing it with the Change + Check choir ensures that the song’s message remains widely shared.
Speaking about the process of recording the song with the choir and Kelly, Pellow expressed: “What I adore about the magic of music is evident here. The joy and vitality, the strength in unity, that’s what truly makes it exceptional.
When everything aligns perfectly, it’s a delight for me to re-live the moment anew, seeing it through their perspective. It’s been quite impactful.
Watch Lorraine and the Change + Check campaign weekdays from 9am on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player with the charity single, Love Is All Around, available to download now.
