Dexys Album Details Revealed

'One Day I’m Going To Soar' due in June

Dexys are set to release their new album ‘One Day I’m Going To Soar’ on June 4th.

Dexys are back. As implausible, as incongruous, as unlikely as that sounds – it’s true.

A new edition of the legendary band went into the studio last year, with leader Kevin Rowland recently revealing that a new album was in the can. Shortening the name to Dexys, the band have unveiled a few more details.

‘One Day I’m Going To Soar’ will be released on June 4th, with Kevin Rowland recently commenting: “I got lucky. I couldn’t have made this record five years ago. Or ten years ago. Everything seemed to fall into place. I already had many of the songs around for a while written with Jim Paterson and others but was struggling to take them forward. Then I realised I needed heavyweight help and ran into Mick Talbot. Soon it became obvious that Pete Williams should play the bass.”

“I don’t know why, but it seems like the stars were aligned. Everything seemed to work, whereas previously, it hadn’t. It seemed there were so many people willing this to happen and keen to put in as much time and effort as was needed to make it live up to its potential – not least Mick Talbot (keyboards and co producer) and Pete Schwier (engineer and co producer) – massive contributions both. I couldn’t have done it without either of them, or the efforts of the other musicians. This is a Dexys record, not a Kevin Rowland record. It’s now called Dexys, NOT Dexys Midnight Runners because it’s the same, but it’s also not the same”.
