After teasing the track on social media, the Spandau Ballet star shared: “Richard Jones [The Feeling] added the bass guitar. Apart from being a friend Richard’s an amazing player and I’ve worked with him before, so we had an easy language.

“He loves late ’70s pop and I felt some of that influence in this tune. In building backing vocals on this album my references were always from that era – Wings, 10cc and Supertramp.”

Accompanying the track is a visual directed by Charlie Lightening, whose previous credits include the Liam Gallagher documentary ‘As It Was’ plus shorts with Paul McCartney, Nile Rogers and Jamiroquai.

Asked why make a solo album now Gary says “It’s confidence, playing around the world with Nick Mason gave me a certain reputation as a guitar player and singer that I never gained from Spandau Ballet.

“That allowed me to go and do my own record and I am of a certain age where I feel the need to understand the issues in the world and my own life, the only way I can do that is in the self-therapy of songwriting.”

‘INSOLO’, released June 18, is available to pre-order on CD and LP. Signed CDs are also available.
