The follow-up to 2017's 'Savage: Songs From A Broken World' is called 'Intruder' and is due for release on May 21. It was partially written and recorded during the imposed coronavirus lockdown, and between sessions at the new wave and electronic musician's home studio in Los Angeles and at producer Ade Fenton’s studio in Bath.
In a statement, Numan said:
‘Intruder’ looks at climate change from the planet’s point of view. If Earth could speak, and feel things the way we do, what would it say? How would it feel? The songs, for the most part, attempt to be that voice, or at least try to express what I believe the earth must feel at the moment.
"The planet sees us as its children now grown into callous selfishness, with a total disregard for it’s well being. It feels betrayed, hurt and ravaged. Disillusioned and heartbroken it is now fighting back. Essentially, it considers human kind to be a virus attacking the planet. Climate change is the undeniable sign of the Earth saying enough is enough, and finally doing what it needs to do to get rid of us, and explaining why it feels it has to do it.”
