Barry Manilow is set to release his first studio album of mostly new material in nearly 15 years, titled What a Time, on June 5. Primarily produced by Manilow and longtime collaborator Michael Lloyd, the album marks Manilow’s 33rd studio album and his first mostly original LP since 2011’s 15 Minutes. The album includes a new recording of ‘Another Life’ and features guest artists such as saxophonist Dave Koz and vocalist Sharon ‘Muffy’ Hendrix.
Manilow has also released ‘Sun Shine’, a single that echoes his 1977 hit ‘Daybreak’. The album announcement arrives amid a time of both health challenges and professional validation for Manilow, who recently underwent surgery for early-stage lung cancer. Manilow will receive the American Advertising Federation’s President’s Award in April and has announced a long list of upcoming U.S. tour dates, running from April 13 to January 21, 2027.
