Texas is a Scottish band formed in 1986 by Johnny McElhone and Sharleen Spiteri. With their unique blend of pop, rock, and soul, Texas has become one of the most successful bands from the UK. Their catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics have captivated audiences worldwide.
Over the years, Texas has released numerous chart-topping hits such as "Say What You Want," "Black Eyed Boy," and "I Don't Want a Lover." Their distinctive sound and Spiteri's powerful vocals have earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
With a career spanning over three decades, Texas continues to create music that resonates with listeners. Whether it's their energetic live performances or their thought-provoking lyrics, this iconic band never fails to deliver an unforgettable experience for music lovers everywhere.

Texas release their new album, Hi, featuring 14 new tracks including new single ‘Mr Haze’. Sharleen Spiteri and bass guitarist Johnny McElhone found some outtakes from the original ‘White on Blonde’ sessions that they forgot existed. Initially they thought these undiscovered gems could be released as a ‘lost’ album but listening to the tracks inspired them to write some really strong new material.

“Our excitement at finding this treasure trove of songs collided with our excitement back then and, unplanned, new songs started coming,” Spiteri says. “You could say we were inspired by ourselves!”

Hi is Texas’s 10th album. Three of the songs were written in lockdown, in Scotland, Wales, LA and Sweden. Collaborations include ‘Dark Fire’, written with Richard Hawley, while ‘Look What You’ve Done’, is a duet where Spiteri trades verses with Clare Grogan (Altered Images).

New single ‘Mr Haze’ is a soul -soaked Motown belter driven by a Donna Summer sample while another album highlight is the haunting piano ballad ‘Unbelievable’ with beautiful lyrics.

“We don’t usually do ballads,” Spiteri admits. “But this one really stuck. The words are very intimate and personal while the music sounds really epic.”
