The title of Bob Geldof’s upcoming album made me smile. “How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell” sounds more like a seminar or guide book than a pop/rock album. But it comes as no surprise from a man full of contradictions. Geldof is probably more known for his philanthropy and personality than his music so it’s nice to see him back at it again.

The new album has been getting great reviews over in the UK and is scheduled to be released here in the U.S. on March 15th through Mercury/Vagrant Records. To celebrate the release, Geldof will be performing at SXSW in Austin, Texas on March 17th.

Here’s the Tracklist:
1 How I Roll
2 BlowFish
3 Just Get On
4 She’s A Lover
5 To Love In Love
6 Silly Pretty Thing
7 Systematic 6-Pack (58 1/2)
8 Dazzled By You
9 Mary says
10 Here’s To You
11 Blow
12 The Fields Of Spring
13 Too Late She Cried
14 Baby’s Going Down
