Those emissaries of eclecticism, engineers of entertainment, princes of performance: the Mael brothers – Sparks to you and I – have released a new single, ahead of a new album and world-wide tour.
More from the Maels
The everlasting pioneers of popular music (OK, I’ll stop sounding like Leonard Sachs from The Good Old Days now) have indeed prepared a new album, entitled MAD!, due for release some time in Summer 2025.
The single
The new single (released on 30th January 2025) is called “Do Things My Own Way”, which to quote Sparks themselves, has been their mantra since 1972, amplified in 2025.
The single is available on most popular streaming platforms, to buy from the Sparks Shop. The video for the single is also available on YouTube, on the Sparks Youtube channel. (I’ll also embed it lower down.)
The tour
The MAD! tour kicks off in Japan on the 8th June 2025 in Kyoto. The tour moves on to Europe during June, covering the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and France before moving on to Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy during July 2025.
Tickets are on sale now for all of those dates, with North America dates to follow.
The official Sparks website carries all the latest details, of course.
Do Things My Own Way
This is the new single from Sparks – a very welcome return for the brothers to the world of music!
