Billy Joel reveals the release of his upcoming tune, ‘Turn the Lights Back On,’ his very first brand-new tune in nearly 20 years.
The Piano Man is preparing to “Turn the Lights Back On” next month, launching his very first brand-new tune in 17 years. Billy Joel revealed on Monday, January 22, that his long time label, Columbia Records, will launch the brand-new tune, “Turn the Lights Back On” on February 1. The 74-year-old singer-songwriter teased the tune with a brief clip on social networks.
Fans right away responded to the news of the release of new music with enjoyment on social networks. “I hoped one day we would see brand-new music,” composed one fan on Facebook. “Beyond delighted for this!”
“Turn the Lights Back On” will be launched on restricted edition 7-inch vinyl, in addition to its larger release on streaming services starting February 1. Joel co-wrote the tune with manufacturer Freddy Wexler, understood for his deal with modern artists like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West. Extra authors consist of Arthur Bacon and Wayne Hector, the latter of whom has actually composed for One Direction and Nicki Minaj.
Billy Joel’s last pop album, River of Dreamslaunched over 30 years back in 1993, included the track “Famous Last Words,” which revealed Joel’s strategies to take an action back from the recording studio.
That stated, he has actually launched a couple of tunes for himself (primarily non-lyrical piano tracks, like his 2001 full-length classical album Fantasies & & Delusions) and dealt with tasks for others occasionally throughout that time. His 2007 tune “All My Life” ended up being a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart.
In spite of investing numerous years far from the recording studio, Joel has actually seldom taken a break from live efficiency throughout that time. Aside from routine global trips, this summer season will see him end up his 10-year residency at Madison Square Garden with his 100th performance in the series.
