(Featuring K’naan)
Following the worldwide success of their first three albums, the members of Keane have
announced the release date of Night Train to be released on Cherrytree/Interscope Records in
the U.S. on May 11. The band who has had three consecutive #1 albums in their native UK and
have played sold out shows throughout the US will also soon announce tour dates in
North America for this coming Spring. The band has released the video for their first single
“Stop For A Minute” (featuring K’naan) over at Mypace.
Night Train features eight powerful new tracks which were written and recorded during the
band’s Perfect Symmetry world tour that saw them playing to packed arenas in 28 countries.
The album takes its title from the band’s favourite mode of transportation during the tour, and
includes Keane’s genre-busting collaborations with Somali/Canadian rapper K’Naan,
‘Stop For A Minute’ and ‘Looking Back’.
“I think these tracks show us in a completely different light.” says Keane frontman Tom Chaplin.
Other highlights include ‘Ishin Denshin (You’ve Got To Help Yourself), which features Japanese
MC Tigarah, as well as the gorgeous ‘Your Love’, which hangs around a rare lead vocal from
the band’s Ivor Novello-winning songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley.
Keane, who are Tom Chaplin, Richard Hughes, and Tim Rice-Oxley; together they have sold close
to 10 million albums copies of their albums Hopes And Fears (2004), Under The Iron Sea (2006) and
Perfect Symmetry (2008). They have played sold-out arena tours, and were the musical guest on
Saturday Night Live. With songs such as Is It Any Wonder?, Everybody’s Changing, Crystal Ball and
Somewhere Only We Know, Keane is one of Britain’s best-loved bands and will surprise
and thrill their fans all over again.
