Jake Shears is back with news of his second solo album Last Man Dancing, which will include collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Big Freedia and more, and has released the first single "Too Much Music" to accompany the announcement.

"Too Much Music" is Shears' first new outing since appearing on Annie’s “Neon Lights” in June 2021, and is teamed with a Calum Macdiarmid-directed video.

The new single will appear on Shears' second solo album Last Man Dancing, which will follow his 2018 self-titled debut, and will include contributions from Kylie Minogue, Big Freedia and Amber Martin, as well as a cameo from Jane Fonda and words from Iggy Pop.

Shears says his new album "is my ultimate house party. Presented in two distinct halves, it chronicles a night’s journey from sing-along dance anthems into the deeper, darker corners of my living room. Electro-pop, tech-house, poppers-fueled disco, it’s MY afters and YOU just got the address. We can be as loud and late as we want… and while not everyone might make it to the end, it’s the last ones dancing who are rewarded with the most magical moments of the evening."
