Rod Stewart will release Time, his first album of new material in almost 20 years, May 7 on Capitol Records. The album features 12 tracks, 11 of which he wrote and produced.
“Something about the process of reviewing my life for the book [2012's Rod: The Autobiography ] reconnected me, and that was it: I was away," Stewart said. "Suddenly ideas for lyrics were piling up in my head.
"Next thing I knew, I had a song called ‘It’s Over’ about divorce and separation. And now I was getting up in the middle of the night and scrambling for a pen to write things down, which has never happened to me. I finished seven or eight songs very quickly and I still wasn’t done and it became apparent that I would eventually have a whole album of material to record, which had never happened before.”
