Mike + The Mechanics new album "Out Of The Blue"

Out Of The Blue’ is the ninth studio album from the acclaimed Mike The Mechanics, and captures the evolution of some of the band’s most loved hits throughout their 35-year career, as well as introducing fans to the band’s future with three brand new tracks - ‘One Way’, ‘What Would You Do’ and the album’s lead single of the same name ‘Out Of The Blue’.

Upon announcing the release of the album, Mike Rutherford explained, “Having toured with the Mechanics over the last 10 years, I have heard the old songs change a bit each year with Andrew and Tim singing and the same band playing. In some cases they have been extended and developed - so it seemed a good idea to record these versions in the studio.

“Anyone who has seen us live will I’m sure like to hear the old ones in this form as they show how the two singers work so well together. Especially on a song like ‘Get Up’ which has become a double lead vocal.
