Peter Gabriel has released the fourth track from his upcoming album, o/i.
The latest is “Till Your Mind Is Shining,” with Gabriel noting, “To my ears it’s the closest I get to a pop song on this record.”
“It takes me back to my schooldays, in some ways, because before there was Genesis we were effectively trying to be songwriters more than musicians – pop songs or soul / R&B songs,” he adds. “I think this song connects me back to some of those roots and the sort of thing that I was working on then and trying to master.”
As for the themes of the song, Gabriel notes, “In some ways it’s about opening up the mind and stepping inside to understand a little more of ourselves and the world we live in with the hope that we respond a little more responsibly and compassionately.”
As he did with his last album, 2023’s i/o, Gabriel plans to release a new song from the album with each full moon of the year. The entire album will be released by the end of 2026, along with Dark-Side and Bright-Side mixes handled by Tchad Blake and Mark “Spike” Stent, respectively.
“Till Your Mind Is Shining (Dark-Side Mix)” is available now via digital outlets.
