B-52's 'Love Shack' re-opens
It's been 15 years since the New Wave quintet has put out an album, but the wait is almost over. The B-52's, who've holed up in Athens, Ga., for two months to record the still-untitled album, have put together 11 new tracks. The band plans on an early 2008 release.
"There's more electronica on it," singer Fred Schneider said in an interview from his Long Island home. "It's up-tempo and a bit sexed-up. It's sexier than ever."
Will the B-52's revamped sound resurrect their careers? Will they revamp their look too, or will Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson threaten Amy Winehouse's title as queen of the beehive?
