Earlier in November, DOVES returned with their first new music in over four years ‘Renegade’. The single came alongside an impending new album Constellations For The Lonely.
DOVES will tour in 2025 at a carefully selected variety of intimate to medium-sized venues to celebrate the new release.
While Jimi Goodwin will not be appearing for these live shows, fans are assured of hearing all the greatest hits. Previously, the band had cancelled their 2021 touring plans to protect Goodwin’s health and wellbeing and the singer remains committed to his recovery as a priority.
In a press announcement, the band stated: “Jimi’s health came first”, while Goodwin himself added that his current circumstances were “not compatible with a mad, city-to-city schedule.” This welcome move is another positive step to putting wellbeing first in an otherwise fast-paced and chaotic industry.
Lead single Renegade is their most expansive single to date, and sets the scene for the impending dystopian drama on Constellations For The Lonely. It’s a cinematic new sound while retaining the identity that many have come to associate with nostalgia.
