Osmond’s 65th release is set for Sept 2021
Multi-platinum-selling recording artist and entertainment icon Donny Osmond has signed with BMG for his milestone 65th release, Start Again, which is set to release in September 2021 with album pre-sales beginning later this summer. The album title was inspired by Osmond’s own unique career journey of constant reinvention.
The 12 track pop/R&B Start Again is Osmond’s first full length solo album in seven years and features collaborations with such notable performers as Charlie Wilson and Pierre Bensusan and songwriters 9am, Ant Clemons, Dalton Diehl, Jason Mater, Jonas Myrin, Larrance Dopson, Ne-Yo, Seth Reger, Space Primates and Amy Wadge. Additionally, in a career first, Start Again is entirely co-written and produced by Osmond himself.
In coordination with the upcoming album release, Osmond will release the first single “Who” on June 30th and will appear on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna on July 1st to promote the single and announce the album and partnership with BMG. The accompanying music video, directed by Shane Drake and shot on location in Northern California, features Osmond portraying multiple versions of himself and showcasing three very different sides to the personalities that have made Osmond the consummate chameleon of a performer that he is today.
“After three years and over 40 songs written and narrowed down to my favorite 12, this is more than a compilation of tunes on an album. This record is an integral part of who I am after six decades of entertaining,” shares Osmond.
“We are honored to be releasing Donny Osmond’s newest album, Start Again. We are in awe of his talent, passion and commitment to producing new and exciting music – even after 65 albums! A true American Icon, his musical influences are many but he remains uniquely himself. For fans and new listeners alike, this is Donny Osmond like you have never heard before!” adds John Loeffler EVP, Legacy Artists at BMG.
Osmond’s highly anticipated and history-making solo residency at Harrah’s Las Vegas launches August 31st and encompasses his six decades in entertainment featuring his greatest and most beloved hits and featuring select tracks from the album. This marks the first time that Osmond will perform the songs live for an audience in concert and tickets are on sale now via Tickmaster.
The residency marks a return to the Las Vegas stage after a record setting 11 year run at the Flamingo Las Vegas with his sister Marie, in which our own Matt Bailey covered in 2019.
