Daryl Hall Set to Release ‘D,’ His Sixth Solo Album, First In 13 Years, Co-Produced by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, June 21
aryl Hall will release his sixth solo album, D, on Virgin Music on June 21, co-produced by one-time Eurythmics member and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Stewart, who co-wrote seven of the nine new original songs with Hall penning the other two on his own.
The first single from the album, “Can’t Say No To You” can be listened to HERE, alongside the official music video HERE.
D marks Hall’s sixth solo album, and first since 2011’s Laughing Down Crying on Verve Records. In 2022, Hall released BeforeAfter, featuring a 30-song compilation of all his solo work, from 1980’s Robert Fripp-produced Sacred Songs through 1986’s Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine, 1993’s Soul Alone, 1996’s Can’t Stop Dreaming and Laughing Down Crying.
“This album is about getting to my core,” said Daryl. “Break it down to the real thing, have fun, tropical reverie. And, rekindle a musical relationship with a great friend…Call me ‘D.’”
The new album was recorded and mixed at Stardust Studios in Harbour Island, Bahamas. The first single from the album, “Can’t Say No to You,” co-written by Hall and Stewart, will be released on May 3, when pre-orders for the full-length album will start, available on Hall’s official merch store and Target.com. There will also be exclusive vinyl variants, available in silver at independent record stores nationwide, turquoise at Barnes & Noble, and more! Other songs include “The Whole World’s Better,” “Too Much Information,” “Rainbow Over the Graveyard,” “Not the Way I Thought It Was,” “Walking in Between Raindrops” and “Why You Want to Do That to My Head” along with a pair of brand-new Daryl Hall solo tracks, “Rather Be a Fool” and “Break It Down to the Real Thing.” The album is now available to pre-save on all platforms HERE.
On May 9 at 8PM ET, Daryl will appear on the social media celebrity shopping network, Talk Shop Live, to introduce the new album, while his summer tour with Elvis Costello will begin June 2 at the McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon, running through July 25 at Wolf Trap Filene Center in Vienna, Virginia.
