Texas dropped a Bank Holiday treat in the form of latest promo single Moonstar.
The track is the third to be lifted from the group’s forthcoming 10th studio album ‘Hi’, featuring previous releases Hi and Mr. Haze.
And while the early tracks featured collaborations with hip-hop giants Wu Tang Clan and a classic Donna Summer sample respectively, the new cut boasts rolling drums, acoustic guitars, and a warm Nashville vibe.
‘Hi’ features 14 tracks originally conceived during sessions for Texas’ fourth album, ‘White on Blonde’.
Initially they thought these undiscovered gems could be released as a ‘lost’ album, but listening to the tracks inspired the group to write new material.
“Our excitement at finding this treasure trove of songs collided with our excitement back then and, unplanned, new songs started coming,” explains front woman Sharleen Spiteri.
“You could say we were inspired by ourselves!”
‘Hi’ is due for release on May 28 and is available on CD, LP and Cassette.
