Today Sue and Nick are joined in the Chatterbox studio by Barry Manilow, who announces his first new studio album in nearly 15 years, What A Time, out on June 5

Featuring Collaborations with Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Dave Cobb, Michael Lloyd and More

With a career spanning more than five decades, 85 million albums sold worldwide, 52 Top 40 singles (including 13 No. 1 hits) and recognition as Billboard’s No. 1 Adult Contemporary Artist of all time, Barry Manilow remains one of the most celebrated entertainers in modern music. His new studio album, What A Time, due out June 5, marking his first album of new material in nearly 15 years.

Produced by Manilow and longtime collaborator Michael Lloyd, What A Time is Manilow’s 33rd studio album and his first almost all-original LP since 2011’s 15 Minutes, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. The album brings together an eclectic and cross-generational collection that pairs Manilow’s signature melodic grandeur with fresh textures and stylistic turns — from classic, string-swept torch songs to groove-driven R&B flourishes, heartland rock touches, and gospel-inspired crescendos.

What A Time arrives amid a banner year for Manilow. In addition to his arena tour and landmark Las Vegas residency, Manilow continues to extend his impact beyond recording and touring. In April 2026, he will receive the American Advertising Federation’s prestigious President’s Award at the Advertising Hall of Fame induction ceremony, recognizing his iconic work in advertising, where he has composed and performed some of the most memorable jingles in history for brands including State Farm, Band-Aid, KFC, Pepsi, and McDonald’s.

Through the Manilow Music Project, he has invested millions of dollars into rebuilding music education programs nationwide, purchasing instruments, restoring band and orchestra departments, and directly supporting public schools to ensure future generations have access to music education.

With What A Time, Barry Manilow adds a vibrant new chapter to a legacy defined not only by longevity and chart dominance, but by craftsmanship, reinvention, and an enduring connection to audiences across generations.
