Lindsey Buckingham has returned today with news of his first album in over a decade, as well as brand new single ‘I Don’t Mind’.
‘I Don’t Mind’ serves as the lead single to Buckingham’s forthcoming self-titled album, his first full-length release since 2011’s Seeds We Sow.
“I wanted to make a pop album, but I also wanted to make stops along the way with songs that resemble art more than pop,” the ex-Fleetwood Mac member said in a statement via Pitchfork.
“As you age, hopefully you keep getting a little more grounded in the craft of what you’re doing. For me, getting older has probably helped to reinforce the innocence and the idealism that hopefully was always there.”
Speaking of the new song, Buckingham said, “‘ Don’t Mind,’ like many of the songs on my new album, is about the challenges couples face in long-term relationships.
“Over time, two people inevitably find the need to augment their initial dynamic with one of flexibility, an acceptance of each others’ flaws and a willingness to continually work on issues; it is the essence of a good long term relationship. This song celebrates that spirit and discipline.”
Lindsey Buckingham is out Friday, 17th September. Listen to ‘I Don’t Mind’ below.
