Untitled

Somersault is Chicane's third official studio album, released on 23 July 2007. It is Chicane's first album self-released on producer and songwriter Nick Bracegirdle's independent record label, Modena Records.[2]

"Stoned in Love", the first officially released song from the album, was first heard a year ago when it was released as a single in April 2006, in anticipation of the then-untitled album. Several other songs that were to appear on the album were first played live by Chicane in concerts during the same month; one of these songs, "Come Tomorrow", was announced as the follow-up single at this time.[3] It was released on July 16, 2007.

In February 2007, Chicane's official website announced its departure from Universal Records, the label that released "Stoned in Love", and the subsequent scheduled release of "Come Tomorrow" and the forthcoming album on Modena; the title Somersault was subsequently announced in March.[4]

In addition to "Stoned in Love", five other songs feature leading male vocals and verse-chorus form lyrics. The singer on these songs (3, 4, 7, 8, 9) is Jack Starks[1] (whereas no previous album has included multiple songs with the same singer).

Two of the tracks on the album, "Arizona" and "Spirit", are taken from the Easy to Assemble album, which was never officially released due to a leak of the promotional copy on the Internet.
