In a moment of pure joy for fans, Simply Red have officially announced the release of a brand-new studio album, arriving later in 2025. The news broke during their electrifying performance in Barcelona, where lead singer Mick Hucknall declared on stage: “This year has been about honoring our journey — but we’re not done yet. A new album is coming, and it’s some of the best music we’ve ever made.”

Titled “Legacy & Love”, the album will be their first since 2019’s Blue Eyed Soul, and promises a return to the band’s soulful roots with a fresh, modern touch. Fans can look forward to a sound that blends timeless melodies with lyrics drawn from four decades of love, growth, and reflection.

The lead single, “Time Won’t Wait,” is expected to hit streaming platforms ahead of the album’s release, offering the first taste of what Hucknall describes as “a deeply personal and uplifting body of work.”

A deluxe edition will also be available, including bonus tracks, acoustic versions, and behind-the-scenes content from the recording sessions in London and Los Angeles.

This announcement caps off a monumental year for Simply Red, who are currently celebrating their 40th anniversary with a global tour and the release of their acclaimed concert film Holding Back the Years.

For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this album promises to be a powerful reminder that Simply Red remains not just a part of musical history—but a living, evolving force in soul and pop music.

The legacy continues—and it sounds better than ever.
