The singer will release his 21st studio album on the 6th November.
In a career that has spanned six decades, singer-songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan has announced a brand new album titled ‘On the Record’.
The album begins by the uplifting first single ‘Growing Old Disgracefully‘ and forms the centrepiece of Gilbert’s 60 Years in Music celebrations, alongside a major UK & Ireland tour in 2026.
From ‘Nothing Rhymed’, Alone Again (Naturally)’, ‘Clair’ and ‘Get Down’ to three Grammy Award nominations, three Ivor Novello Awards, chart-topping albums and millions of records sold worldwide, Gilbert O’Sullivan has created one of the most enduring catalogues in British music. His songwriting continues to inspire artists across generations, with admirers including Paul Weller, Tim Burgess and CMAT.
Produced by Andy Wright, the album continues the acclaimed partnership established on Driven (2022) and Songbook (2024). Recorded in Eastcote Studios in London with the same musicians who have become an integral part of his recent work, the sessions captured thirteen new songs in just five days.
Among the 13 tracks on this new record are: ‘It’s Me’, ‘Growing Old Disgracefully’, ‘No Place Like Home’ and ‘Is That You? ‘, a duet with Andrea Corr.
