Toyah is set to return this summer with ‘Posh Pop’, her first album of new material in 13 years. 

The LP is the star’s first original collection since 2008’s ‘In The Court Of The Crimson Queen’, and was produced in collaboration with Simon Darlow and her husband, King Crimson’s Robert Fripp.

Ahead of its release, Toyah kicked off the campaign with lead track Levitate and, in an album announcement, the ‘80s icon revealed more about the project. 

Of the recording process, she told NME:  “When Covid stopped everything last year, it allowed me to concentrate on writing and recording the next album. We recorded in Simon’s outdoor studio with just him, my husband and I.

“‘Posh Pop’ was a magical experience created out of the need and ability to make contact with our fans in a heartfelt way. Also the terrifying distance between those who run the world and those on the ground inspired my writing.

“Working with Fripp in the studio, we just handed him the chord charts the day before and said: ‘We want you to come in and improvise and that’s what we’ll use’. It was spontaneous.”

In addition to CD and Vinyl variants, the album is also available as a special CD + DVD package, featuring 10 music videos for the album, directed-by and starring Toyah, along with Robert and Simon.

‘Posh Pop’ is released on August 27 via Demon Music Group and available to pre-order across formats.
