Hue And Cry announce the release of their 16th album Everybody

Hue And Cry announce the release of their 16^th album Everybody, a bold new chapter in a creative journey that saw them score a string of chart friendly hits, including Labour Of Love and Looking For Linda.

The album is a record where out-and-out electropop sits alongside powerful Latin House and Future Disco. Telling deep romantic tales that mingle with high-concept scenarios and Greg Kane’s glittering soundscapes contain his brother Pat Kane’s insistent, signature vocals.

Everybody is the result of the duo sitting with analogue/digital music tech – DeepMind arpeggiators, hydrasynths, wavetables, classic drum machines – and allowing songs to emerge out of the electronic landscape around them. After two years of experimentation, the album was completed with mixing by Yoad Nevo (Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran).

“We’re still pushing for something new in 2026,” says Pat, “From a wall of arpeggiators and synths, humming and pulsing away, we’ve wrested out 10 songs that have as much of our mind, body and soul in them as any of our previous music.”

Those songs confront powerlessness, polarisation, runaway climate change, authoritarianism and technological overreach, while also championing active love as a counterforce.

First single Stronger is a synth-driven introduction to the album to come, complete with its message of resilience and hope.

Feel The Love

Much of the writing of Everybody dates to the pre-Covid period between 2018 and 2020, a time Pat now recognises as emotionally turbulent. “I was in anguish and I didn’t even know it”, he says.

The album was delayed by a succession of life-changing events – bereavement, illness, broken relationships, the pandemic and its aftermath – followed by the band’s 40th anniversary commitments, making now the first clear moment for the music to finally emerge.

“It turns out that Everybody is a love album – but that can mean love of justice, love of tech, love of the future, as much as of our beloveds” Pat says.

It’s also a future-facing record, grappling with how we can thrive rather than merely survive and the brothers Kane couldn’t be prouder of what they’re made in Everybody.

Everybody will be released on 29 May on CD, vinyl, digital formats and a limited-edition ultimate collector’s boxset.
