Gary Barlow has unveiled the first single from his upcoming new solo album, and it's a cracker.
The Take That singer has released 'Elita', a collaboration with Michael Bublé and Latin star Sebastian Yatra.
Listen to 'Elita' below:
Elita
Gary has described the track as “salsa-infused pop”, saying: “'Elita' is a song about witnessing the power of women — that’s really at the core of this track.
“Originally it was just the two of us, but then Michael said he knew this amazing talent that would be perfect for the song.
“Within an hour we were all on the phone and when Sebastián sent the track back, we were just thrilled.
"He has this amazing charisma — it just sounded so authentic.”
The track will feature on Gary's next album, titled Music Played by Humans, which is the follow-up to his 2013 LP Since I Saw You Last. It will be released on November 27.
The album will also feature collaborations with Barry Manilow, James Corden, Beverley Knight and Alesha Dixon.
