Rick Astley has released his ninth studio album, Are We There Yet?, via BMG. Stream it via Apple Music or Spotify below.
The English singer wrote, recorded, played, and produced the follow-up to 2018’s Beautiful Life at his home in London. Preceded by the singles “Dippin My Feet” and “Never Gonna Stop,” Are We There Yet? was influenced by the likes of Bill Withers, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye, as well as the live instrumentation of the famed R&B scene in Muscle Shoals. Pick up your physical copy here.
In support of the album, Astley will play a handful of UK shows, including a pair of gigs at London’s Royal Albert Hall. He will return to the road in early 2024 for a UK and Ireland arena tour, featuring Belinda Carlisle, The Lottery Winners, and Scouting for Girls opening on select dates. See the schedule below, and tickets are available here.
This past June, Astley made his Glastonbury Festival debut, teaming up with UK indie rock band Blossoms to perform a full set of The Smiths covers.
