Colin Hay will release ‘Next Year People’, his 12th album outside Men At Work, in time for his Australian tour.

Men At Work only released three albums but the first ‘Business As Usual’ sold 6 million in the USA and the follow-up ‘Cargo’ sold 3 million. The albums also reached no 1 in the USA, Australia and UK.

‘Next Year People’, was produced by Hay and mixed by music producer and film and TV composer Chad Fischer (Lisa Loeb, Chasing Mavericks, Scandal) and includes contributions San Miguel Perez and Yosmel Montejo (both of whom recently emigrated from Cuba), as well Larry Goldings on piano, Jeff Babko (Jimmy Kimmel) on B3, Charlie Paxson and Jimmy Branly on drums, Michael Georgiades on acoustic guitar, and Colin’s wife, vocalist Cecilia Noel.

‘Next Year People’ will be released in Australia on February 13. Colin Hay will tour Australia in April.
