Todd Rundgren Announces New Album White Knight Featuring Robyn, Trent Reznor and Dam-Funk for May 2017 Release

Todd Rundgren has just announced that he will be releasing new album on May 12. The new album is titled White Knight and will be released via Cleopatra, according to Pitchfork. The project is a collaboration album with some of music’s biggest names. Rundgren explained, in a press release, his reasoning for making this collaboration album. He said, “It’s easy to get used to playing to your own audience, even if you are absorbing and experimenting with new ideas. I wanted to collaborate not just for the musical possibilities, but also to play for new audiences and expose my fans to the range of artists I enjoy working with.” Joining him on the album are Robyn, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Dâm-Funk, Daryl Hall, Donald Fagen, Joe Walsh, and more. A full tracklist for White Knight and its cover work can be seen below.

A single has been released that includes the Swedish singer/songwriter Robyn, titled “That Could Have Been Me.” The song is off of the forthcoming album and can be streamed via SoundCloud below.

The last album released by Rundgren was about two years ago titled Global and Runddans. This was a solo project from Rundgren that included Emil Nikolaisen and Hans-Peter Lindstrom.

Ryan Fricke: Music is my therapy, which I could not function without. I am currently finishing my senior year a Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida with a Journalism major and a Creative Writing Minor. I first realized I wanted to become a Music Journalist the minute I learned that I could get paid to do the two things I love most, writing and listening to music. I have yet to decide which I am more infatuated with but for the time being I will happily house them to their stalemate. My plans after graduation are unclear but I hope to further gain experience in this profession.
