Thanks to its inclusion in the Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0box office smash Marty Supreme, Peter Gabriel<\/strong>‘s 1982 song “I Have the Touch” has been getting plenty of attention lately…and now the Grammy-winning musician has announced a brand-new album is on the way.<\/p>\n

A follow-up to his 2023 album\u00a0i\/o, his next album is titled\u00a0o\\i and will be released in the same fashion, with a new song dropping on each full moon<\/a> of the next year, according to Ultimate Classic Rock<\/a>. The first single, “Been Undone,” is coming out this Saturday, Jan. 3. All the songs on the album will be available in \u201cDark-Side\u201d and \u201cBright-Side\u201d mixes, with “Bright-Side” mixes being released on every month\u2019s new moon.<\/p>\n

“I have been thinking about the future and how we might respond to it,” Gabriel, 75, said in a press release. “We are sliding into a period of transition like no other, most likely triggered in three waves: AI, quantum computing and the brain computer interface. Artists have a role to look into the mists and, when they catch sight of something, to hold up a mirror.”<\/p>\n

“These are my lumpy bits\u00a0\u2013\u00a0i\/o: the inside has a new way out and\u00a0o\/i: the outside has a new way in,” he continued, adding, “We are not, and have never been, the exclusively self-determining, independent beings that have been given the run of the world. We are something else, a part of nature<\/a>, a part of everything and feeling a connection, shaking our booty and giving and receiving some love can help us find our place \u2014 and put a big smile<\/a> on our faces.”<\/p>\n

“Some of these songs are going to form part of the brain project that I\u2019ve been exploring for a number of years, and some just make me feel happy. I hope you like them,” Gabriel said in conclusion.<\/p>\n

Each song on o\/i will also be released with an original work of art. “Been Undone” includes a piece by artist Janaina Mello Landini<\/strong> called Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome).<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post earlier this month, Gabriel thanked Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie<\/strong> for his inclusion of “I Have the Touch.”<\/p>\n

“I was delighted that \u2018I Have the Touch\u2018 was chosen for the soundtrack of Marty Supreme,” he wrote. “The song is rarely asked out for a dance and I have always loved table tennis. Now there seems to be a real buzz about the film. Although I have it in my Academy pack we are waiting to see it on the big screen in the Christmas holiday.”<\/p>\n

Gabriel even revealed that he “always” has a ping pong table backstage on tour for band and crew members to “jump on” whenever they want.<\/p>\n
