Boy George Culture Club Life Stream – After a false start and delay of a couple years, Boy George says that he’s “very happy” with Culture Club’s just-announced new album, Life, which is due out Oct. 26.

The set, Culture Club’s first studio album since 1999, was originally titled Tribes and expected to be released in 2016-17. The group even previewed new songs — such as “Different Man,” “Human Zoo” and the Johnny Cash homage “Runaway Train” — during live shows.

But Culture Club ultimately decided to “record everything again,” George tells Billboard, “just to give the album a kind of continuity, a kind of feel.” Boy George Culture Club Life Stream

“I just feel that we’ve made an album that we’ve been trying to make maybe since (1983’s quadruple-platinum) Colour By Numbers,” George adds. “It’s funny when you say it sounds very Culture Club; We do often say that about tracks. But it just feels looser. It’s very catchy. The songs are really strong, really melodic. It just has an ease about it that I really like.”
