Beach Boys' Brian Wilson To Release 'Spiritual' New Album

'Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin' is due to be released on September 6.

It was produced by Wilson and mixed by multi-Grammy Award winner Al Schmitt, and includes renditions of some of Gershwin's most famous songs.

The album also features two new songs - 'The Like in I Love You' and 'Nothing But Love' – crafted from never-before-published music by the composer.

“Along with Irving Berlin, Gershwin basically invented the popular song, but he did something more,” Brian Wilson said.

“He had a gift for melody that nobody has ever equalled, yet his music is timeless and always accessible. This is the most spiritual project I've ever worked on.”

'Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin' will also be released on special edition vinyl on August 24.
