Frontman Kevin Rowland describes the album as a deeply personal collection of songs exploring “love in all its forms,” including family, ageing, memory, romance and reconciliation. The album drops on September 4, you can pre-order the album here.
The album’s lead single, “My Life In England Pt. 1,” revisits Rowland’s childhood growing up in a second-generation Irish family in north-west London.
He also reflected on memories of hearing Irish rebel songs in social clubs as a child, recalling how his mother warned him that one song “wasn’t allowed in England.”
The song later won Best British Single at the 1983 Brit Awards and became Britain’s best-selling single of 1982.
Mann also noted that the song’s blue-collar visual style helped turn the band into MTV favorites during the spring of 1983, with frontman Rowland’s overalls-and-bandana look becoming instantly recognizable to a generation of viewers.
