Take That New Album Announced; First Single Off First Album Since Jason Orange's Departure Previewed

British group Take That's new album has been announced and the first single off their first effort after the departure of Jason Orange has also been released.

Take That's new album called "III", which will hit stands on December 1, reportedly did not have any of Orange's involvement but was given his "blessing." The first single off the album called "These Days" had been uploaded on YouTube and will reportedly be released on November 23.

The latest studio effort from the group was produced by Jeff Lynne and Stuart Price.

Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Robbie Williams and Orange formed the band in 1990. Williams left in 1995 and pursued a solo career. A year later, they disbanded. The four remaining members re-formed in 2005 to make a comeback, which proved to be a success. Williams briefly returned to the band in 2010.

However, in late September 2014, Orange announced his departure from the band. In a statement, he said: "I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years. I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my band mates, who I feel are like brothers to me."

He added: "Most especially my gratitude goes to all of the good and kind, beautiful and ever-loyal fans of the band, without whom none of this could have been possible. Thank you."

The trio, however, seem to be unfazed by what appears to be a setback and are prepared to make another comeback.

Along with the announcement of Take That's new album was the release of the record's tracklist. The group's latest studio effort includes the songs:

  1. These Days

  2. Let In The Sun

  3. If You Want It

  4. Lovelife
