What a time to be a Barry Manilow fan.

Earlier in March, Barry announced that his first album of new material in close to 15 years, What A Time, would be out June 5. Now, he’s released a new single from the project, which he’s made available for preorder.

The track, “Sun Shine,” arrives with a music video that shows a couple waking up, getting ready for their day and coming together to dance.

The album also features Barry’s current hit “Once Before I Go” as well as two guest appearances on the record: Sharon “Muffy” Hendrix, who’s worked with Barry for years, and saxophonist Dave Koz. Other collaborators include Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and his longtime co-writers Bruce Sussman and Adrienne Anderson.

After postponing multiple shows due to his lung cancer diagnosis, Barry is scheduled to return to the road April 13 with a show in Queens, New York.
