Texas have confirmed the release of their 10th studio album.
'Hi' will arrive on May 28 via BMG and feature the Scottish band's Wu-Tang Clan collaboration of the same name, along with guest spots from Richard Hawley on Dark Fire and Clare Grogan of Altered Images on Look What You've Done.
Its 14 tracks were inspired by the shelved outtakes from the recording sessions for their 1997 LP 'White On Blonde'. Singer Sharleen Spiteri said:
"Our excitement at finding this treasure trove of songs collided with our excitement back then and, unplanned, new songs started coming. You could say we were inspired by ourselves!"
As a further preview, the group have dropped the record's opener, Mr Haze, a soul-infused song that leans heavily into the Motown sound with samples of Donna Summer. Press play below.
Texas will support the full-length with a previously announced UK and Ireland tour in February and March 2022. Tickets are on sale now.
