Pet Shop Boys will release their new album, ‘Nonetheless’, on April 26.
The LP is the 15th from the synth-pop duo and was recorded by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe in 2023 with producer James Ford.
“We wanted this album to be a celebration of the unique and diverse emotions that make us human,” says the duo. “From the more dance-orientated tracks to the raw poignancy of the introspective ballads, with their beautiful string arrangements, each track tells a story and contributes to the overall narrative of the album.”
Alongside the album announcement, Pet Shop Boys have released the lead single, Loneliness, with a CD edition out February 26.
Speaking to Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show, Neil added of the song: “Loneliness is the last track we wrote for the album. Chris sent me this very beautiful track over. And I already had this, probably inspired by the lockdown situation, this lyric about loneliness which fitted with it very well. And, it’s quite an up sounding song with a lyric that starts off sad but it turns around at the end.”
Over the summer, they’ll play a five-night run at London’s Royal Opera House between July 23 and July 27.
‘Nonetheless’ is out April 26 on Parlophone and available to pre-order now. Listen to Loneliness and watch the official music video below.
