Everything But The Girl have released their first new material in over two decades.
Nothing Left To Lose is the duo’s first single release since 2002’s Corcovado and is set to feature on the forthcoming album ‘Fuse’, out later this year.
Of the 10-track LP, Tracey Thorn says: “Ironically the finished sound of the new album was the last thing on our mind when we started in March 2021.
“Of course, we were aware of the pressures of such a long-awaited comeback, so we tried to begin instead in a spirit of open-minded playfulness, uncertain of the direction, receptive to invention.”
Ben Watt adds: “It was exciting. A natural dynamism developed. We spoke in short-hand, and little looks, and co-wrote instinctively. It became more than the sum of our two selves. It just became Everything But the Girl on its own.”
Ben and Tracey released their first album, ‘Eden’, in 1984 and have worked on a number of solo projects since calling time on the act.
However, last year they thrilled fans by announcing new material, sharing: “Just thought you’d like to know that we have made a new Everything But The Girl album. It’ll be out next spring. Love, Ben and Tracey.”
Everything But The Girl scored four UK Top 10 singles and 12 Top 40 singles, with their biggest hit Missing also peaking at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1995.
They haven’t performed together publicly since 2000.
‘Fuse’ is out April 21 and available to pre-order now.
