Diana Ross will release a new studio album, Thank You, this fall, marking the singer’s first since 2006’s I Love You. Written during lockdown, the album features collaborations with several writers and producers, including Jack Antonoff and Jimmy Napes.
Ross previewed the album, out September 10th via Decca Records, with a breezy, hopeful single, “Thank You.” “Thank you for the smiles/thank you for the tears,” Ross sings on the pop number. “Thank you for being who you are/for all those years.”
“This collection of songs is my gift to you with appreciation and love,” Ross said in a statement. “I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to record this glorious music at this time. I dedicate this songbook of love to all of you, the listeners. As you hear my voice you hear my heart.”
