A new album from Deacon Blue due next year

Very exciting news about one of my all-time faves. With any luck, they'll finally return to tour America again after 31 years...

Deacon Blue will release their ninth studio album City of Love on March 6 via earMUSIC.

On the new album, the multi-million selling Scottish pop band delivers 11 new tracks tethered by a singular belief — that even in the corners of a town or a life where no light falls, hope can prevail. The album is the group's fifth since reuniting for 2001's Homesick. Their legacy boasts seven million album sales, two No. 1 albums and 14 hit singles in Europe.

"We're so looking forward to you hearing City of Love and getting out on the road, playing new songs and old songs, too," says singer Ricky Ross. "Every time we tour now, it feels like a celebration because our fans are still there and it's a delight for us. We're planning to make this the best one yet.”

A limited colored vinyl edition + signed print will be available exclusively on the Deacon Blue online shop at this location.
