Beverley Knight has announced her new album.
As part of her 50th birthday celebrations, the British soul star will release 'The Fifth Chapter' on September 29 via Tag8/BMG. It marks the vocalist's first full-length of original music in seven years and was co-produced by Knight and Jimmy Hogarth, AC Burrell, Mitch Allen and Josh Cohen/DJ Waldie.
Alongside the news, the singer has shared Last One On My Mind, the poppy, soul-infused lead single from the record, which boasts songwriting credits from the likes of Diane Warren, Seb Coe, Ollie Green and Andrew Roachford. Knight explained:
"My new album covers the kaleidoscope of my soul influences from disco, R&B, funk, gospel through to northern soul and big ballades. Maintaining a dual career in acting meant that for the first time I stepped back from my usual songwriting to allow some of the world’s greatest songwriters to scribe my thoughts. This album is a true team effort of incredible talents for which I am truly grateful."
On the track, she added: "Last One On My Mind is a sassy no nonsense but joyous sounding song with a big nod to modern disco. It’s about taking your power back from a former lover and striding into the future. It gets in you and stays there."
She'll support the follow-up to 2016's 'Soulsville' with a previously scheduled autumn UK and Ireland tour, which will see her accompanied by a live band for 20 dates in October and November. Tickets are on sale.
