Ah, I knew there was a reason to stick around on this planet until September. A brand new Ben Folds album is coming - hoo-bloody-rah. And get this, the first single features guest vocals from Ms Regina Spektor. Yeah, Spektor and Folds on one record. Storming.
Here's Folds talking about the new album, to be called 'Way To Normal': "I was not interested in making a record about the D-word [divorce]. I got all that stuff out of my system on the last record, which was deliberately stoic. This new album is really about me being free, which is why it feels cathartic and expressive. It's about me coming back to being myself ... I came out of the courthouse, kissed the ground, and walked straight into the studio. I felt like a bottle of champagne that had been shaken for 18 months and popped open in the studio. That's why this record has so much energy".
