Barry Manilow is set to return with a new studio album, marking his first release of largely new material in nearly 15 years. The project, titled What a Time, is scheduled to arrive on June 5 and adds a fresh chapter to a career that has stretched across decades of pop music.
The announcement introduces an album built around new songs, giving fans a rare update from an artist whose catalog has long been tied to classic hits and live performances. The release stands out not just because of the music itself, but because it signals a renewed focus on studio recording after a long gap between original projects.
Manilow remains one of the most recognizable voices in adult pop, with a career shaped by songs that became radio staples and concert favorites. Over the years, he has continued to perform and maintain a loyal audience, even as new studio albums became less frequent.
With What a Time now on the calendar, listeners will soon get a chance to hear what his latest creative period sounds like.
