Neil Diamond releases his 32nd studio album, Melody Road, on October 21 via Capitol Records.
Produced by Don Was and Jacknife Lee, it is Diamond’s first album of original material since 2008’s Home Before Dark, although he has released a holiday and a covers album in the intervening years.
Don Was said of the album “It takes tremendous vision, focus and determination – combined with a mega-dose of God-given talent, charisma and soul – to create music that becomes indelibly ingrained in the fabric of our culture. For decade after decade, Neil’s songs have been such a major part of our lives. Making this record with him has served as a profound reminder of what a powerful and amazing artist he truly is.”
Capitol chairman and CEO Steve Barnett added “Neil has made a brilliant record, one of the very finest in his singular body of work. His beautiful and heartfelt songs on Melody Road are imbued with the wisdom of a man reflecting on life’s experiences while still looking forward on the road ahead of him. He delivers these songs with the passion of an artist fully committed to his craft, and in that warmly distinctive voice that has brought us so many Neil Diamond classics. All of us at Capitol are thrilled to be presenting Melody Road to the world.”
