Get ready to dive into a musical journey that blends nostalgia with innovation, because Hue and Cry are back with a bang! After a six-year hiatus, the dynamic duo of Pat and Greg Kane is set to release their highly anticipated studio album, Everybody, on May 29, 2026. But here's the kicker: this isn't just another album—it's a bold exploration of their roots, infused with a modern twist that’s sure to spark debate among fans and critics alike. Is this their most ambitious project yet?
The first single, Stronger, is already making waves with its pulsating electro beats, hinting at the album’s retro-futuristic vibe. But this is the part most people miss: Everybody is a love letter to the electronic pioneers who shaped Pat and Greg’s early sound. Think David Bowie’s Low, Simple Minds, Japan, and The Human League—all reimagined through Hue and Cry’s signature lens. Greg reveals, ‘Pat wanted to make an electronic record that nods to our formative influences while pushing boundaries.’
And push boundaries they did. After two years of experimenting with both vintage and cutting-edge technology, the duo enlisted the help of Yoad Nevo (known for his work with Pet Shop Boys and Duran Duran) to fine-tune the mix. Pat explains, ‘We’ve crafted 10 tracks that are as deeply personal as anything we’ve ever done, emerging from a wall of arpeggiators and synths.’ But is this a step forward or a nostalgic retreat? We’ll let you decide.
Everybody will be available in multiple formats, including a jaw-dropping limited-edition collector’s box set that’s a treasure trove for die-hard fans. Here’s what’s inside:
- A signed CD of Everybody
- A 140g purple and grey marble-effect vinyl LP (also signed)
- A Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos mixes of the album
- A 7” single featuring two exclusive tracks from the Everybody sessions
- Live at Kelvingrove, a 15-track live album recorded in Glasgow in 2025
- Bonus goodies like a slip mat, button badge, sticker, and certificate
Controversial take alert: While the collector’s box is a dream come true for fans, its exclusivity might leave some feeling left out. Is this a fair trade-off for such a premium package? Let us know in the comments.
Pat and Greg aren’t stopping at the album release—they’re hitting the road in October for a tour that promises to be nothing short of spectacular. ‘Playing live with the full band is always the highlight,’ Pat says. ‘We’re bringing the hits, the favorites, and the full widescreen treatment. Come dressed to impress, and let’s party with style.’
