Untitled

"Rocks & Honey" is the sixteenth studio album by Bonnie Tyler, and is scheduled for release on March 8, 2013.[1] As the next album to be released after "Wings" in 2005, this has been the longest gap between album releases in Tyler's career. Tyler stated that she named the title of the album after referring to the contrast between her and duet partner, Vince Gill, as her voice sounding like rocks and his sounding like honey.[2]

Two songs have been written and produced by Desmond Child. This is the first time Tyler has worked with Child since 1988, on her "Hide Your Heart" album.

In years leading up to the album's release, Tyler has performed new songs such as "You Are The One",[3][4] "Don't Tell Me It's Over Now",[5] "It's My Name",[6] and "Is That Thing Loaded?".[7] However, none of these songs were added to the album, despite Tyler announcing during various concerts that they had been recorded, or were due to be recorded for it.

Release and promotion

Tyler first announced the title of the album on BBC Radio Wales in August 2012. "What You Need From Me" became the first track of the album to be played on radio.[8][9] On December 31st 2012, Tyler made a second track public when she performed "All I Ever Wanted" (later announced to be the album's first single) in Germany for a new year's eve show on December 31st, 2012.[10] She performed the song live on German TV again on February 16th, though the middle eight was cut.[11]

The album was first made available for sale on the French Amazon store in February 2013.[12] A promotional album artwork was later added, though the official artwork has not yet been made public.

Between February 18th and March 17th 2013, Tyler will be a guest on a "Rock Meets Classic" tour in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. On the first tour date in Berlin, Tyler performed "Believe In Me" from the new album.
