Peter Gabriel recently shared a new single, "A Hard Lesson" from his forthcoming album o\i.
"A Hard Lesson" is written by Gabriel and produced by Gabriel and Mike Elizondo. The first mix to be released is the Bright-Side Mix by Mark "Spike" Stent.
"This is the oldest track of the project. It probably started in the late 80s or early 90s when I was in Senegal. I was falling in love with the music I heard there. I loved the tension created by the use of polyrhythms, particularly the threes and fours, so that was the start of this song," Gabriel said.
"It's a quirky, strange and long track but it's a journey. It's about trying to find a place, your place, how you fit in. I've enjoyed playing with old R&B and folk references as well," he added.
i/o was Gabriel's last album, released in 2023 song by song with each full moon cycle. o\i is being released the same way.
