Erasure have announced their new album, Radio!! Radio!!<\/em>, set for release on March 12, 2027, via Mute, alongside new single \u201cWings Of Love\u201d and details of a UK and European arena tour, including a Dublin show at 3Arena on May 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n The record marks Andy Bell and Vince Clarke\u2019s first studio album in six years and their 20th album release, arriving as the duo celebrate 40 years since the release of their debut album.<\/p>\n Premiered on BBC Radio 2, new single \u201cWings Of Love\u201d brings Erasure\u2019s unmistakable synth-pop sound together with lyrics exploring love, loneliness and gratitude for the people who have shaped Bell\u2019s life.<\/p>\n Radio!! Radio!!<\/em> is described as one of the duo\u2019s most personal records, with songs addressing love, loss, injustice and hope. Written following a difficult period of grief, the album also reflects the strength of Bell and Clarke\u2019s songwriting partnership after four decades together.<\/p>\n Speaking about the record, Clarke said:<\/p>\n \u201cSome of the songs are quite reflective of stuff that\u2019s been going on in my life, but not all of them. We didn\u2019t have to think about it or talk about it \u2013 it just happened that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Bell also reflected on the relationship at the heart of Erasure:<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re a songwriting partnership for so long, it\u2019s very deep, kind of like a soul connection. You trust that person with your life, and because of the nature of songwriting, you just lay bare your soul. That becomes a sacred space.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Musically, the album builds on Erasure\u2019s familiar electronic foundations while introducing additional textures. Clarke found himself increasingly drawn to piano, inspired by composers including Erik Satie, as well as acoustic guitar, bringing a more organic quality to parts of the recording.<\/p>\n\n
