Edwyn Collins releases a new single, You'll Never Know, through Heavenly Recordings on September 10th 2007. The single is taken from his forthcoming album, Home Again. The 12 track self-produced album is released on September 17th.

The single will be available on CD and 7" and includes a 'dub' from producer / reggae legend Dennis Bovell who has worked with the likes of I Roy, Steel Pulse, The Slits and Dexys Midnight Runners.

Home Again, Edwyn's 6th solo long player, was recorded at West Heath, his own North West London studio in late 2004 / early 2005 before he suffered a serious illness. Work to complete the album was resumed earlier this year following a long period of rehabilitation.

Edwyn formed his first band, The Nu-Sonics in Glasgow in 1976 and was later to form Orange Juice and the hugely influential Postcard Records on which they released a string of acclaimed singles including Falling And Laughing & Simply Thrilled Honey in the late 1970s. They went on to record 4 ambitious albums which fused the rhythm and drive of Chic & Stax with an edge and attitude born out of their post-punk roots; such a sound was, at the time, completely unique and their influence on subsequent waves of British guitar bands cannot be underestimated.

Orange Juice disbanded in 1985 and Edwyn has subsequently enjoyed a successful solo career (his 1994 single A Girl Like You was a worldwide hit) and has produced a number of albums, including The Cribs 2004 long player The New Fellas. He has released 5 solo albums since his debut, Hope And Despair in 1989.
