Dexys Midnight Runners - Release new album 'Love' !!!

Dexy shows you the 'Love' !!!

Dexys Midnight Runners have released their new single, 'Once a Man, Twice a Child', the latest track to be taken from their forthcoming new album, 'LOVE', out on Friday, September 4th via Heavenly Recordings. 'Once a Man, Twice a Child' is a love song about a relationship that almost never happened between Kevin Rowland and his father. The third single from 'LOVE', following 'My life in England (Part 1)' and 'You've got the Love', tells the story of days spent loving one of the people Kevin never thought he could get closer to. A soulful classic and cornerstone of the new album, it was produced by David Holmes.

New album 'LOVE' is a deeply personal and emotionally rich album that may mark the final chapter in Dexys Midnight Runners' extraordinary musical journey. Their first release under the Dexys Midnight Runners name since 1985’s 'Don’t stand me Down', 'LOVE' gathers stories spanning Kevin Rowland’s life - from his second generation Irish childhood and family relationships to late-life romance, loss and reconciliation. Built around themes of love in all its forms, the album moves beyond traditional romance to explore ageing, memory and emotional connection. The album was produced by Belfast musician / DJ David Holmes, aided and abetted by Peter Schweir, with additional contributions from long-time collaborators Sean Read, Mike Timothy, Jim Paterson and string arranger Brian Irving.

Founded in Birmingham in 1978, Dexys Midnight Runners released three critically and commercially successful albums 'Searching for the young Soul Rebels' (1980), 'Too-Rye-Ay' (1982) and 'Don’t stand me Down' (1985) and a string of top ten hits in the 1980s, including two number ones, ‘Geno’ (1980) and 'Come on Eileen' (1982). Frontman Kevin Rowland would go on to release both solo and further band albums under the ‘Dexys’ name, including their 2012 ‘comeback’ album, 'One day I’m going to Soar', which came out to widespread acclaim and 2023’s 'The Feminine Divine', which made No.6 in the UK albums chart. Rowland, one of the most individual and unique musical talents of the past forty years, also recently released his memoir, 'Bless me Father'.
