“How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell” is the title. It’s his first album since 2001’s “Sex, Age & Death” and his fifth album as a solo artist (his eleventh if you include his work in his band the Boomtown Rats). The album features 10 new Geldof compositions recorded with his band in his home and in various friends’ studios and produced by his longtime collaborator Pete Briquette.
Lyrically the album is said to be full of love, hope and joy and the sense that Geldof is more comfortable in his own skin than ever before.
