The 'Karma Chameleon' hitmakers - who formed in 1981, split in 1986 and reformed numerous times, most recently in 2014 - dropped 'Let Somebody Love You' on Tuesday (31.07.18), ahead of a new album, 'LIFE', which will be released on 26 October.

The group - which features Boy George, Jon Moss, Ro Hay and Mikey Craig - have previously performed 'Let Somebody Love You' live but had never released a recorded version of the track.

The song features the lyrics: "Love is revolution/War and famine too/If you've the hunger in your heart/Let somebody love you."

The new album, which is available for pre-order, features artwork shot by acclaimed photographer Rankin.

In support of the album, the group will embark on 'The Life Tour', which will also feature Belinda Carlisle and Tom Bailey from Thompson Twins.
