Tell Em I Gone is due for release on 27 October. According to Rolling Stone, it is inspired by Stevens' listening to R&B in his youth, "Hidden in the background behind my renowned troubadour persona lurked an R&B alter-self waiting to be let free," Stevens explained. "What's powerful and profound, to me, is the overall message which emerged, lyrically.
"It suddenly stared me in the face: the innate struggle for Freedom! Isn't that what most human beings dream of? Music and the blues particularly was a means of escape for many chained to the destiny of the rich and powerful."
The album consists of five originals and five covers, including Edgar Winter's 'Dying to Live' which previously appeared on the soundtrack of hip-hop documentary Tupac: Resurrection.
Stevens has sold over 40 million albums in a five decade career.
