Decorated British singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Lynne and his Electric Light Orchestra have announced a new studio album, From Out of Nowhere, which is set for release on November 1st via Columbia Records.
The 14th Electric Light Orchestra album and the second billed under Jeff Lynne’s ELO, From Out of Nowhere follows up the band’s 2015 release, Alone in the Universe.
“From Out of Nowhere – that’s exactly where it came from,” Lynne explained in a press statement. “That’s the first one I wrote for this album, and it’s kind of like that.” He noted that he was aiming to spread optimism with both the song and album, adding, “Everybody’s got to have a bit of hope.”
