Rod Stewart is set to release a new album on Feb. 23, 2024, dubbed Swing Fever.
The upcoming record is a collaboration with Jools Holland and features 13 covers of classic songs. Swing Fever was recorded live and is now available for pre-order. Fans can also listen to the first single, “Almost Like Being in Love,” on streaming platforms. Talking about the album, Stewart said to Rolling Stone:
“I don’t think we had one single debate about the songs we wanted to do and we could’ve kept recording for another year.
“We agreed on absolutely everything.”
Holland added:
“Rod does it naturally and when we sit at the piano he just sings them and it’s a natural feel.
“He’s spent his life illuminating the world with his voice, but this music has always been there too, whether it’s a part of the blues and the swing and he understands that fully.”
Any Upcoming Tours For The New Album?
Rod Stewart currently has solo tour dates scheduled across the globe in 2024, including a Las Vegas residency, but both he and Holland have expressed an interest in the possibility of touring together. Holland said:
“I can’t think of anything better than that, you know.
“This music sits very comfortably for us and that’s the thing. We’ve had a lifetime of playing live and communicating with people and it’s the best way to get five minutes of peace and quiet, going on tour!”
