BMGAs a second preview to their first album in nearly 20 years, Culture Club has released a new single, “Life.” The song has a joyous vibe and bears the same name as the band’s forthcoming album, which drops on October 26 and is available for pre-order now.

Boy George says in a statement, “John Lennon said ‘LIFE’ is what happens while you are busy doing other things, but sometimes you have to stop and look with sadness and pride at what you have done and created in your own life and value the rich complexity of it! It’s a song about second chances and new beginnings, enlightenment, spiritual growth and personal redemption.”

All four original members — Boy George, Jon Moss, Roy Hay and Mikey Craig — were on board for the recording and just wrapped a summer trek where they played to more than a half-million fans; they’ve now got a West Coast mini-tour kicking off Friday in Salt Lake City.
