Cinema is the fourth solo album by English singer Elaine Paige,[1] released in 1984 on Warner Music.
[2] For her previous album Stages (1983), Paige had chosen tracks from musical theatre.
Following this theme, Cinema features songs that had been previously recorded for film soundtracks.
Tim Rice wrote lyrics to Vangelis's theme for the film Missing specifically for this album.
In 2014, Rhino UK released the compilation album Elaine Paige: The Ultimate Collection[3] which includes the out-take "What a Feeling" (from the film Flashdance), originally recorded as part of the Cinema album sessions.
