New Solo Album Glow + Single & UK Tour posted: 05/02/26
Today Michael announced his 23rd solo album Glow, set for release on 24 April 2026.
Here is a bit about the album from official press release:
"We went on a real journey with each song," explains Ball of the writing sessions, which took place in a small studio in West London. "We'd get a vibe going, and things would evolve from there. Whether I was writing about something that happened to me or I was inhabiting a character, I think you can hear it all flows from the same voice, both physically and psychologically."
On the first single Vintage Michael recalls "Last year my late friend, Jane Birkin's handbag, which Hermès created especially for her, was auctioned off. It got me thinking about how things aren't second-hand anymore, they're 'pre-loved' or 'vintage'. I thought 'look, some of us are not in our 20's anymore, so I guess we're vintage too.' So it is a reaction to people dismissing you because you're old, and saying you could learn from our vintage. So you can call me an old fart if you like, but I'm actually still really enjoying myself, so why not embrace the vintage?"
"I know I probably say this with every album I release, but Glow is the best thing I've ever done, it really is," declares Ball. "It's certainly the most personal, connected and relevant record I've ever made. It's a body of work that will really stand up."
You can also find the complete track listing in the press release or our album page.
You can buy your copy (plenty of versions to choose from) here.
He also released the music video to the new single Vintage
And as if this wasn't enough, we still have the UK tour to look forward to:
