Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham announce new album
Four-fifths of Fleetwood Mac are working on a brand new studio album together.
The brainchild of Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, the duets album will be released under the Buckingham McVie moniker and features contributions from their fellow Mac bandmates John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.
"All these years we've had this rapport, but we'd never really thought about doing a duet album before," Buckingham told the Los Angeles Times.
"There is that album (Buckingham Nicks) that I did with Stevie (Nicks) back before we joined the band, but other than that, it's all been Fleetwood Mac or solo."
Tentatively set for release this May, the pair have been recording the album at the Village Studios in Los Angeles where Fleetwood Mac recorded ‘Tusk’ 38 years ago.
McVie told the newspaper she had her doubts about reconnecting with Buckingham when they first hit the studio: “I suppose I wondered if I believed in myself.
“But I was like, 'Go for it, Chris. Go for it.' And, you know, a better thing's never happened to me. I've reconnected with the band and found a fantastic person to write with.
“We've always written well together, Lindsey and I, and this has just spiralled into something really amazing that we've done between us.”
Fleetwood Mac’s last studio album ‘Say You Will’ was released back in 2003.
