Stayin' alive for more than 35 years, harmonious sibling trio the Bee Gees will kick out their first studio recording since 1997's Still Waters on April 24.
This Is Where I Came In features 12 new tracks, many of which were recorded in the manner of the group's 1960's hits — with Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb singing around a single microphone.
While the Bee Gees are a stadium-filling band around the world, in American they have had a harder time making a comeback from their disco days. But "This Is Where I Came In," the new album's first single, has garnered airplay on pop radio staples KIIS-FM in Los Angeles and WTLW-FM in New York, according to Universal Records.
Overseas the song is a top-20 hit, and This Is Where I Came In debuted at #3 in Germany and #6 in the United Kingdom.
The Bee Gees recorded the album at their own Middle Ear Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, focusing on their rock, soul and ballad roots as conveyed by their trademark harmonies.
This Is Where I Came In follows the 1999 live album One Night Only, which has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.
The Bee Gees, whose genre-spanning hits include "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "Lonely Days" and "Stayin' Alive," are the only songwriters to have five songs in Billboard's top-10 singles chart at the same time and to have #1 hits in four decades.
