Any new album news?

[David]

He’s working on it, right? Has he talked to the press lately?

[UnwindedDreams]

I haven't heard anything but I'm hoping he announces it next month with a release date in September. That was the timeline for his last one but then that could have been for COVID reasons (like summer 2021 was when concerts came back)

[jbrownsjr]

I hope there is a tribute to Christine on the new album. :angel:

Yes, like using the leftovers from Buckingham McVie. I’m sure he will. It will make for good press.

Their combination was my favorite thing about FM. The worked so well together.

The Youtube album documentary and the tv interviews they did together was really heartwarming.

It really was heartwarming. And they recorded of course with John and Mick...

How come they all got along so well? What was missing?

Oh yeah...

I’ll go to my grave knowing that album should’ve been a Fleetwood Mac album. Absolutely STUPID. And we all know the one 5’1” reason why it wasn’t. It would’ve sold marginally better and be slightly more well known than it is but dammit, it’s a Fleetwood Mac album.

It was, and should have been. Stupid old goat ruined the ending of our band. I hope karma gets her, but good.

I agree 100% it’s a shame Stevie wasn’t on it. Time and Say You Will was released as Mac albums because Mick and John were on it. PERIOD!

I just found recent old Fleetwood Mac pictures in his twitter.

[John Run]

Lindsey has taken the best tracks from what was to be his next solo album and contributed them to the next Fleetwood Mac album. The 1987 Fairlight II has been plugged back in to recreate Stevie's and Christine's voices and John’s bass. Mick will come on down to hear the new work and Lindsey will see the kindred spirit that is Mick and invite Mick to replace the programmed drums with live drum tracks, but Lindsey won’t cut the programmed drums, he will keep them all, so their will be nothing short of 76 drum tracks per song. Lindsey will then comment that is the best work the five of them have ever done and Stevie will proudly say these are her best vocals in 35 years.

And then the Grammy voters will add them to the nominations at the last minute, and they will scoop the awards and hug Don Kirshner.

So. No news?

His insta post recently about Christine was really bitter-sweet.

Yes, it was joyful and yet so hard to believe it's been 6 years... and she's passed away. :shocked:

[bwboy]

Yes, like using the leftovers from Buckingham McVie. I’m sure he will. It will make for good press.

I’d be surprised if there are any songs left over, considering Buck/Vie only had 10 songs on the album. Stevie made it known she wasn’t going to record with them, so it wasn’t like they were saving room on the album for her. If they had more songs, they should have included them on the album.

If I recall correctly, Christine at some point indicated one song was held back for the future. It should have been included. Any idea which one it was?

That would be great news. I wonder why it wasn’t included?

[WalkAThinLine.]

The song may not have been up to par with the other songs. Given that they felt inclined to rework "Sleeping Around the Corner", a bonus track from Buckingham's 2011 Seeds We Sow, it's certainly possible that they didn't have too many other viable contenders for the album. If I'm not mistaken, Buckingham mentioned in an interview that McVie only brought in a few songs for the album. While Buckingham is a very prolific songwriter, McVie only tended to create new material when an album was on the horizon.

Based on the ASCAP registrations from 2013 (https://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=51689&highlight=Hunger), they also still might have another song from the original 2011-12 sessions, namely "Is It Right". Several of the other songs listed were eventually released on Extended Play (Miss Fantasy and Sad Angel), Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie (In My World, Lay Down For Free, On With the Show), and Solo Anthology (Hunger). There's also the possibility that "Is it Right" was the working title for "Swan Song".

[Villavic]

So. No news?


No. Another 70s picture today (twitter). That's it.

[DownOnRodeo]

Seems very likely.

[UnwindedDreams]

I am surprised a single hasn’t been released. I Don’t Mind was released over 2 years ago. I hope he’s in good health!

[sanders8323]

Any updates on the new album?

[Villavic]

Nothing. Lindsey posts old pictures in his networks but no update about his new album or what's going on now. The only recent new was the Will Ferrell event where he was invited. But no posts about the new album.

Considering antecedents, we could expect it in 2030.

Lindsey has been quite prolific for the past couple of decades. It's the old goat who's all dried up.

He has been but with an election coming next year… I’d bet $he’ll have an album out before Lindsey filled with songs telling us how important it is to vote even though $he didn’t for 50+ years! And Show Them The Way will be the bonus track on the Japan release!

[Villavic]

No specific news yet, but yesterday he said he's ready for what's next.

[GypsySorcerer]

The acoustic snippet of "The Chain" is accompanied by the caption "sneak peak." Wonder if he's planning a compilation of some kind?

[Villavic]

He just posted he's smiling because it's nearly spring.

Will this be related to the new album?

I don’t think it will be. Just one of his “inspirational” lines. But I’m craving a new Lindsey song.

I still think Stevie will have an album out before him. Sheryl Crow just said in an interview she’s working on a song, at Stevie’s request, that Stevie wrote recently.

[sleepless child]

Is it possible that Stevie and Lindsey are working on something together? I know it sounds implausible, but I saw on twitter last month that someone in Nashville saw them together. Now we hear that Sheryl is working on something with Stevie, and maybe Dave Stewart too? Both based in Nashville. Also Lindsey just posted that photo of things to come, Stevie wrote that poem for Taylor Swift and the next day Lindsey is quoting his poem he would use before doing Go Insane. I know, it sounds childish, but just maybe?

god,I hope not. I really don't think(and hope) that Stevie ever wants anything to do with him again. And shouldn't. Because it's over. Please let it be over.

[Villavic]

Well if Japan and USA became business partners after Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima, everything is possible, but I don't think so. And I wouldn't want to see them together again.

[sleepless child]

I honestly hope not either. I am really looking forward to Lindsey's new album. You know the lyrics are going to be killer on everything from his marriage, kids, health and of course Fleetwood mac.

who's the singer??

At first I thought it might be his own vocals but slowed down so when played back at regular speed we get his tinkly guitar that he likes to do...

but that sounds totally like someone else's voice...:shrug:

Wow what a treat!
Reminds me of those snippets in the Destiny Rules documentary.

He must be contributing to someone's track. Don't have a clue who it is.

All those years since Say You Will of wasted opportunities for rocking FM albums!

Ah yes. Thanks elle. I probably listened to that once when it was first announced here and never since. Love this clip though with Lindsey's playing at the fore!

[UnwindedDreams]

Watch... this 20th Century Lindsey set will have Rhino push his new album released to 2025.

[Villavic]

Is there any event or activity this weekend? Lindsey (or his commuinity manager) likes to send weird messages, I think not very close to the truth.

https://x.com/LBuckingham/status/1791157186241900999

[UnwindedDreams]

On September 17 2021, Lindsey released his most recent album. I hope he’s alright. 3 years later it doesn’t seem like anything new is coming.

[Villavic]

He posts every week in his FB, Instagram, Twitter... But just memories, old pictures, anniversary of some album. Never any notice of anything new.

[justcrazylove]

Please reassure me, we all know why Lindsey's PR team are posting like this, don't we? His team use their weekly drop across his socials, on old pictures and clips (including fan shot). The digital footage is clearly shot from an interview designed for splicing and posting sporadically to appear like Lindsey has been doing this recently.

He is in the studio, we know this.
Janet Robin has said she spoke to Lindsey recently, that he had long covid and that set him back. She also noted that Lindsey wants to record this new album on tape. Which if true...is huge for Lindsey.

His team and he has a team, are an arm of his management agency. A young label where Lindsey is the legacy act on their roster. Before Lindsey was with this agency he was with Azoff. Following Seeds We Sow which Lindsey self released, he had no social media presence until he was on twitter himself answering questions. Following his firing, his new management team have obviously realised that they need to keep his name in front of people's minds for when he eventually releases a new album. He won't need to reintroduce himself to a social media audience, he already has a network of followers.

I don't think anything is particularly interesting, the short clips are great, but the images and clips are nothing we haven't seen before. Just with an added layer of BS, having a person in his PR team write some rote caption.

I see this as a positive. Lindsey is still on the label, still paying a team and they are still working the "market" for him. I think it's really going to come down to when Lindsey thinks the album is right. He doesn't like to rush, we know this.
and has he ever been wrong?

My big question is what is the tone/theme of this album going to be?
Is he going pop again, considering the success of LB?
Acoustic?
Will Mick and/or John play on the record?
His artistic comment on Christine and the end of FM, he hasn't written new lyrics since what, 2014/15?

I'm excited, even if he doesn't tour. I just want Lindsey to release records until he no longer wants to.

[Villavic]

Well, I think for many of us Out of the Craddle is our favorite Lindsey solo album. And I've read comments about it came too late, music and sounds had changed in 1992, and general public hadn't heard from Lindsey since 1987, nor from a solo album since 1984.

I think if OOTC had been released in 1989, it wouldn't have been a rush, but only Lindsey knows that. Anyway, the fact of taking several years to release his next album, considering he announced in 1987 he can't continue within the band, I'd say that was a mistake. Specially for Reprise Records. :)

[justcrazylove]

I'm not sure if I understand your point. I'm not discussing the need for new releases for popularity's sake, to sell more records, or that he is missing a 'window'. This is about Lindsey taking his time to complete albums to the most creative point that he wants to take them. If that means I wait, I wait! He has not released a dud solo record, and I'll argue to the end of my days defending that position.

[bombaysaffires]

who is his new management, btw?? :shrug:

[justcrazylove]

https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-sadie-72b34537/

Matt Sadie of C3 Management is his Manager.
Lindseys' favourite band, Phoenix, are their largest client.
