Engelbert Humperdinck

LOS ANGELES (April 23, 2026) – Turning 90 on May 2, Engelbert Humperdinck – the legendary “King of Romance” – continues to defy time with the release of his new single, “I’ve Got You,” available now via Silver Blue Records, distributed by Sony Orchard. Listen to “I’ve Got You” here: https://open.spotify.com/album/47lQxypOOdTNKgHlak1n2l and check out the lyric video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDPynus8yhg.

 

Humperdinck, whose career spans more than six decades and includes over 140 million records sold worldwide and 63 Gold and 24 Platinum albums, the four-time Grammy nominee and Golden Globe winner reunites with multi-Platinum producer Joel Diamond on “I’ve Got You.” Fifty years after their first pairing on the worldwide hit “After the Lovin’,” over the course of their enduring partnership, Engelbert and Diamond have collaborated on 109 recordings together. Engelbert, known for his legendary catalog of timeless hits “Release Me,” “The Last Waltz,” “This Moment in Time” and “After the Lovin’,” which has defined generations of romantic music, he has yielded some of the most beloved romantic recordings ever made from his creative alliance with Diamond.

 

Says Humperdinck, “After all these years in music, there’s still nothing quite like the feeling of a new song finding its way into the world. ‘I’ve Got You’ is especially close to my heart. It speaks to love, loyalty, and the quiet strength we find in one another – and I believe that message matters now more than ever.”

 

Adds Diamond, “Turning 90 this May, Engelbert continues to deliver performances that rival his most iconic recordings. ‘I’ve Got You’ brings the same passion, dedication, and unmistakable magic that first captivated audiences worldwide and made ‘After the Lovin’ a timeless classic. More than just a new release, ‘I’ve Got You’ stands as a celebration of longevity, artistry, and a historic creative bond between us that continues to shape the sound of romance in music.”

 

“I’ve Got You” was written by the late, legendary producer/songwriter Larry Butler – renowned for producing many of Kenny Rogers’ greatest hits (“Lucille,” “The Gambler,” “She Believes In Me,”) as well as penning the Grammy-winning classic “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” for B. J. Thomas. “I’ve Got You” was the final composition Butler completed before his passing, and in a deeply personal moment, Butler once said that “this is the very best song I have ever written.”

 

In addition to the new single, Humperdinck continues to tour year-round, with upcoming performances scheduled for this June through November – both nationally and internationally – including the U.S., Southeast Asia, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and more. Dates/cities are below.
