{"product_id":"dexys-midnight-runners-love","title":"LOVE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLOVE\u003c\/em\u003e, Dexys Midnight Runners latest, possibly last ever album, is a luminous collection of scenes and reckonings. Stories of family and friends, tales from past and present. All drawn from Kevin Rowland’s life, each an individual jewel, threaded together with love. Songs begun three decades ago sit alongside those written in the last year. A vivid depiction of Rowland's Irish immigrant childhood [‘My Life in England Pt 1’]; a moving letter to his grandchildren [‘You’re Alright’]; a wistful moment at the start of a love affair [‘I Want To Be Holding You Next Christmas’]; a pin-perfect portrait of time spent with a dying parent [‘Once A Man, Twice A Child’]; the difficulties of relationships when you're older [‘Old Love’]. All deeply personal, all true, all here; the full human span of relationships, family and intimate emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme of this album - Kevin's ninth, Dexys' seventh - gradually emerged as the songs progressed. \"I don’t remember when it happened, but I just thought, 'Hang on, these are all love songs, of different kinds',” he says. \"I knew then: Call it \u003cem\u003eLOVE\u003c\/em\u003e.\" These are love songs, but not of the usual pop style. Not will-she-won't-she romance, but something more emotional and all-encompassing. Those small moments that illustrate a rollercoaster sweep. \"Everyone came at this project with love,\" he says. To tell a lifetime of different loves. A love life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLOVE \u003c\/em\u003eis also their first album under the Dexys Midnight Runners name since 1985’s\u003cem\u003e Don’t Stand Me Down\u003c\/em\u003e. “We realised a couple of years ago that some young people know Dexys Midnight Runners from ‘Geno’ and ‘Come On Eileen,’ but some that we spoke to, were confused by the name, Dexys. And some, thought Dexys was a different outfit to Dexys Midnight Runners.,” says Kevin. “Since Dexys returned in 2012, we’ve always felt what we do is worthy of a young audience, so it was a no brainer to revert to Dexys Midnight Runners”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: September 2026\u003cbr\u003eCat: HVNLP239C\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Heavenly Recordings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6tAA66plLt4?si=1XnI-whk7qY0TGp3\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
