Joni Mitchell has given two thumbs up to the title of ’ recently , Harry’s House.
The former singer might have taken a little inspiration from Joni’s track Harry’s House/Centerpiece, which appears on her 1975 album The Hissing Of Summer Lawns, for the upcoming release, which is due out May 20.
Responding to Harry’s official album announcement on Twitter, the Big Yellow Taxi hitmaker posted: ‘love the title.’
She then tweeted lyrics from the song, writing: ‘Heatwaves on the runway As the wheels set down He takes his baggage off the carousel He takes a taxi into town.’
Harry has previously expressed admiration for Joni, having told Rolling Stone in 2019 that his hit Canyon Moon was inspired by falling into ‘a pretty big Joni hole’.
One year later, he covered her classic number Big Yellow Taxi for the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball.
Harry’s House is Harry’s highly anticipated third studio album and will feature 13 tracks.
He shared the news to Instagram with a photo of him dressed in a white blouse and baggy denim jeans, looking pensive as he stood in an upside-down room where the furniture is apparently on the ceiling and an overhead light is on the floor.
In a short trailer for the upcoming album, a montage of clips featuring concert performances and city scenes played before he could be seen walking on to a theatre stage.
Harry has two albums already under his belt, having released his self-titled debut album in 2017 and his second offering, Fine Line, in 2019.
The pop superstar has won a host of awards throughout his career, including his hit track Watermelon Sugar picking up the Grammy for best pop solo performance and the Brit Award for best British single in 2021.
He also took home the Brit Award for British video of the year in 2018 for his debut solo single Sign Of The Times and his popular track Adore You won the Ivor Novello Award for the most performed work of 2020.
Harry’s House will be released globally on May 20.
