Dexys Midnight Runners have shared another taster of their upcoming album.
Following spring single My Life In England Pt.1, the piano-led You’ve Got The Love pairs a sweeping string section with a Philly disco groove. Commenting on the track, vocalist Kevin Rowland explained:
"It’s nothing to do with the house track! When we started writing, I went to Mike [Timothy], have you got any ideas? and he sent me some, and I picked out two or three, which ended up on the album, and this was one of them. It was really simple. I was seeing a woman at the time, and I wrote the lyric, and Mike and I messed around until we were happy with it. The woman is not in my life anymore, so I’ve never told her I wrote it. I suppose I should. It might be nice for her to know."
It marks the latest preview of 'LOVE', the first studio record released under the name Dexys Midnight Runners since 1985's 'Don't Stand Me Down'. Due out on September 4 via Heavenly Recordings, the record could serve as the final chapter in the band's journey.
Dexys will support the LP with a UK and European tour this autumn, including two dates at London's Hackney Empire on October 27 and 28. They'll also appear for a series of intimate in-store signing sessions and stripped back performances in September. Tickets are on sale now.
