The singer has long been teasing new music and, late on Wednesday, January 13th, he shared the full-length record exclusively on YouTube.

“Spread the word.”

The 13-track collection features the previously released Rainbow In The Dark and What Would You Call Unreasonable, and includes collaborations with Asaf Goren, Shay D and ’80s legend Kim Wilde.

When asked whether the LP would be released on other platforms, he responded: “Yes, but decided to do everything backwards.

“As I said, so many great records were played to me by friends. So I’m going rogue. No video. Just the music.”

Cool Karaoke Vol 1 comes one month after George and Culture Club hit the stage at the SSE Arena, Wembley for their Rainbow In The Dark live stream show, which featured classic hits and new tracks.

New music isn’t all that’s keeping the Karma Chameleon singer busy – he;s been hard at work on a biopic about his life, which is currently being mapped out..

The project is being written and directed by Sacha Gervasi, with former One Direction star Harry Styles in line to play the lead role, according to reports.
