Limahl makes a compelling return with his first new single in over five years — a vibrant, retro-futuristic take on America’s 1971 classic “A Horse With No Name”. Out now via Christopher Music, the single isn’t just a cover — it’s a time-traveling reinterpretation, fusing the mellow spirit of the original with the pulsating textures of ’90s electronica and analogue synths.
“It’s a song that’s lived on my evening playlist for years”, says Limahl. “The ‘90s revival inspired me to blend in that era’s rhythms and analogue synths. Then came the guitar, which just tied it all together”. The result is an irresistible groove that’s both faithful and fresh — catchy enough to have you humming “la-la, la-la-la” long after the first listen.
This marks Limahl’s first-ever cover release, and fans old and new are already embracing it. His voice, unmistakably warm and rich, finds new resonance against shimmering synths and filtered beats — a nod to his own pop roots and the sounds that shaped an era.
Limahl has had a busy year. He performed “Too Shy” on BBC’s Comic Relief, helping raise £34 million, and went viral on TikTok with nearly half a million views. His live performances continue across Europe, including appearances at high-profile charity galas alongside the Princess Royal and performances supporting HIV and disability charities.
From global chart-toppers like “Too Shy” and “Neverending Story” to reinventing timeless classics, Limahl’s journey continues to evolve — and ‘A Horse With No Name’ proves there’s still plenty of story to tell.
