Sparks have shared the title track of their new album, 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte'.
The driving, experimental pop song has been unveiled as the first preview of the duo's 26th studio album, which is due out on May 26.
Its accompanying video starring Australian actress Cate Blanchett will premiere on YouTube tomorrow (March 3) at 5pm GMT. The clip came about after musicians Ron and Russell Mael met Blanchett in Paris in 2022. The brothers commented:
"We met Cate Blanchett in Paris at the Cesar Awards last year, little knowing that a year later one of the great actors of our time – and a splendid person – would graciously consent to lending her booty-shaking skills to the first video from our new album.
"The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte. Dreams really do come true. We will sleep well tonight knowing that forever we can say we co-starred in a film with Cate Blanchett!"
The new record will mark the Los Angeles pair's first release on the Island Records label in close to five decades. They'll support it with a European tour, which will kick off in late May with UK stops in Oxford, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester and London, where they'll play two nights at the Royal Albert Hall. North American dates will follow in June and July. Tickets are on sale.
