Everything But The Girl - Fuse

[Thriller]

Everything But The Girl have announced that they will release their first album of new material in more than two decades next year.

The pop duo, comprised of married couple Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, had never formally called it quits but they haven’t released a studio album since 1999’s ‘Temperamental’. They released a compilation album titled ‘The 90s Collection’ in 2008.

Thorn wrote on Twitter that the pair are back making music as Everything But The Girl. “Just thought you’d like to know that Ben and I have made a new Everything But The Girl album. It’ll be out next spring”.

How did I miss this announcement last month?! Will be exciting to see what sound they go for 23 years on - will it be another evolution, or anything like Tracey's most recent solo stuff?

I don't remember when last time I was so excited about the release.

[SholasBoy]

Pretty phenomenal surprise, hopefully the first of many in 2023.

Snap!

[jszmiles]

I really hope it will sound like Temperamental or their remix album Adapt or Die.

I literally can not wait to hear it in full

[Thriller]

The cover is so early 80s, love it! Can't wait for the lead single.

[SholasBoy]

This is the most exciting EBTG news since No Mercy covered “Missing”!

[ManicKangaroo]

The cover is so early 80s, love it! Can't wait for the lead single.

expected a better album cover... cannot wait for the first single!!!

[Thriller]

Wow, it’s very current, they still have their finger right on the pulse. Reminds me of Bicep and Tracey’s voice has evolved beautifully.

[basticasas]

I really liked this!!! Very fresh!!! Also the voices surprised me!!!

[jszmiles]

Tracey sounds so magical! Her voice is better than ever!

Indeed it sounds a bit like Bicep so I hope it will get as good respond as their music. With "legend" status of EBTG their album may be top 10 hit

[Benjamin]

'Nothing Left To Lose' sounds good! I'd love for it to get the Todd Terry remix treatment.

[Thriller]

It’s amazing that two people in their 60s have produced something both very current and harking back to their own 90s material. It’s almost a blessing they left it so long.

[mattsky]

What a great song!

[jszmiles]

The new studio album is their first in over 23 years and you can preview ‘Nothing Left to Lose’ above. It will be released on CD, half-speed mastered black vinyl and coloured vinyl. There is also a limited edition CD+blu-ray two-disc set that features a Dolby Atmos Mix of Fuse. This is available to pre-order from the SDE shop using this link or by using the ‘add to cart’ button below.

Fuse is released on 21 April via Virgin/Universal Music. Interestingly, the band won’t be playing live to support this album.

off course I am late for green deluxe signed version from RT

[Thriller]

Shame no live dates!

[jszmiles]

Shame no live dates!

Tracey always said she hates live shows. So I would be shocked to see them touring actually. Not that I will go to Alaska to see them live someday.

[Forreal]

Her voice has changed a lot, I swear I wouldn’t have recognized If I was listening to this by chance

That’s being said , The new single is SO good.

can’t wait to hear the full album

[mykka]

Great comeback single for sure

[Forreal]

OMG

I m totally addicted: NLTL is the best thing released this year ……drop the album NOW .
