Renowned novelist Irvine Welsh steps onto the dancefloor with the release of his debut album, ‘Men in Love’, out July 24th, 2025, in collaboration with The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra.
Coinciding with the launch of his new novel of the same name — a direct sequel to his iconic Trainspotting — the album marks Welsh’s first foray into music and serves as a sonic extension of his latest literary project.
Blending classic disco, Motown, and modern electronic production, ‘Men in Love’ is a ten-track collaborative concept LP exploring the emotional highs and lows of love, identity, and vulnerability. Welsh penned all lyrics, while The Sci-Fi Soul Orchestra provided music and production. The album’s lead single ‘A Man in Love with Love’ is out now.
The album will be released on vinyl, CD, and digital platforms, with both standard and limited orange vinyl editions available.
