“THE CONVERSATION”
BRAND NEW ALBUM RELEASED MAY 20TH 2013
SINGLE RELEASED MAY 13TH 2013
LIVE SHOWS GLASGOW, LONDON & PARIS
In their 25th anniversary year TEXAS release their brand new studio album ‘The Conversation’ through [PIAS] on May 20th 2013. The album will be preceded by the single also called ‘The Conversation’ on May 13th.
Texas’s eighth album, ‘The Conversation’
is their first in eight years and is the latest in a career that has
seen the band sell over 30 million albums worldwide with a succession of
multi-platinum albums ‘White on Blonde’, ‘The Hush’ and ‘Greatest Hits’.
This overdue return in 2013 clearly redefines and confidently
re-introduces the band afresh with tracks written and produced by
singer/guitarist Sharleen Spiteri and bassist Johnny McElhone and featuring collaborations with singer-songwriter Richard Hawley and Bernard Butler.
‘The Conversation’
is an album splitting its seams with the joy of a long-proven pop force
creating a collection of songs rich enough in melody and emotion to
deserve filing beside the best of the band’s previous million-selling
hits. The album was recorded in Glasgow, London and at Richard Hawley’s
studio in Sheffield where the seven tracks he worked on went on to form
the backbone of ‘The Conversation’: a perfect marriage of Hawley’s 50s rock’n’roll frills and the timeless Texas magnetism to cast-iron melodies.
Texas will launch the album with three live shows in Glasgow, London and Paris, full details tba.
