Everything But The Girl will release the first track from their forthcoming album this month.
Having announced their first album since 1999’s ‘Temperamental’ is due in the spring, the duo celebrated New Year by sharing further details of the new material.
On their Twitter page, they penned: “A kiss to wish you all a Happy New Year. Been a big year for us, bringing us back together to record for the first time in 23 yrs.

The duo released their first album, ‘Eden’, in 1984 and have worked on a number of solo projects since the 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.
