Howard Jones, who has always experimented and brought innovation to music, has released his latest album, which can be described as the culmination of his evolution and a return to his roots (a return to his trademark synth-heavy arrangements and melodic early pop songs)! "It feels very comfortable to be back to the synths like this. Fans have been asking me to make another synth album like the old days, so I think I unconsciously responded to that. I had a lot of fun making it." _________Howard Jones Featured Artist: BT (All Hail the Silence) Includes 5 bonus tracks, including 4 12-inch mixes High-quality Blu-Spec CD2 specifications for the Japanese edition only Includes lyrics, translations, and liner notes 01.

This album, his 11th overall and his first in four years, is released in 2019, the 35th anniversary year of his debut album "Hide and Seek." His previous album, "Engage," absorbed elements from classical music, pop, film scores, ballet music, and contemporary dance music, unleashing his edgy, Howard-style techno/EDM, demonstrating his continued prowess as a leading artist. This album, however, takes a different turn, featuring a sound reminiscent of his hit first and second albums, with organic and warm melodies and lyrics, creating a collection of exquisite pop songs that will delight fans.
