Texas Sign To [PIAS] Recordings - New Album 'The Conversation' Coming In May
The album sees founding members Sharleen Spiteri and Johnny McElhone emerge from a six-year hiatus. The Conversation is their first studio album since 2005's Red Book, and the eighth of their career. Formed in 1986, Texas previously enjoyed 20 years of global success, including a hat trick of number one albums – 1997's White On Blonde (6 x platinum), 1999's The Hush (3 x platinum) and 2000's Greatest Hits (6 x platinum). In total, they have sold more than 20 million albums, alongside the worldwide hits I Don't Want A Lover, Say What You Want, Black Eyed Boy, Summer Son and Getaway. Following their temporary split, Spiteri embarked on a solo career in 2006, releasing two well-received albums - 2008's Melody and 2010's The Movie Songbook. The band are still managed by long-term partners Rab Andrew and Gerry McElhone at GR Management. Speaking about the signing, Sharleen Spiteri said: 'When we started talking with PIAS we were really impressed by their enthusiasm and passion for our new music and how they work in a very modern and artist-friendly way. We are really excited about starting a brand new phase of our career with our 8th studio album and a brand new label partner." [PIAS] Recordings' Geoff Muncey added: "From the moment we heard the new songs they had been recording, we knew we wanted to work with them. This is a band at the top of their game and sounding as special as ever. We are in the entertainment business and all our meetings with Sharleen and Johnny have been very entertaining. Dealing with experienced managers in Rab and Gerry made it even more appealing. We are really looking forward to being a part of the next chapter in Texas' distinguished career."
