No commentsLimahl waxes nostalgic for his musical heyday as he releases his first solo single in decades, “1983,” on January 10, 2012.
The former Kajagoogoo frontman presents his new track after a 2011 when the band released their first single as a quintet since 1984 and Limahl co-wrote and produced a well-received holiday song, “London for Christmas.” Limahl’s new “1983″ is a collaboration with Norwegian producers/writers Tommy Olsen, Rune Maurtvedt and Stig Antonsen. The four have been working on musical projects together for the past year.
“1983″ is an upbeat dance track featuring Limahl musing about the rise of new wave music, its then-state-of-the-art technology, 12-inch singles, cassettes and his former band’s most successful year.

Adam Ant announced today that unforseen production delays on his album are causing him and producers to push back its release date. In turn, he postponed his U.S. tour, originally scheduled to begin in February.
The decision appears in a post on Ant’s official website:
Due to circumstances beyond the control of Adam Ant, his band and his representation, the release of Adam’s new album has been delayed resulting in the re-scheduling of his February USA tour dates to September and October 2012
Dates will be announced later in the year. Tickets that have already been purchased will remain valid for the new dates at the local venues when they are re-set.
