Jukebox is the twelfth studio album by Australian pop vocal group Human Nature released in October 2014. It contains covers from the 1950’s and 60’s, with one original song, “End of Days”
Group member Andrew Tierney said of ‘End of Days’; "It's really become a highlight on the record. It goes back to those soul ballads, and it's also got a contemporary edge to it because it's a new song. It's such a thrill to have our own song alongside these classics and part of our own Jukebox." [1]
Following the success of The Christmas Album, Human Nature returned to the studio to record a new album; this time, an album of covers from the 1950’s and 60’s. In 1989, the first song Human Nature ever sang together was ‘’Earth Angel’’ by The Penguins. Group member Toby Allen said; "For us…the ‘Jukebox’ record is kind of going back to our roots and revisiting it…that classic doo-wop stuff was what we did when we got together.” He continued, "We've developed enough over the years that we can go back to the past in a confident manner." [2]
The album will be supported by a national tour in April/May 2015.
