Entitled "If Everyone Was Listening…," the recording will be released in the U.K. Nov. 17.

In a statement Ball said, "I’ve recorded 15 of my favourite songs; a mix of new and old, rock classics, beautiful tunes and a couple of surprises. And I’m thrilled with the result! I had a brilliant time delving into my own record collection to pick the tracks and took a very active role in the arrangements and production. In fact, I think this is my most personal album yet; every song features beautiful lyrics and as you know, I love singing songs whose lyrics mean something to me and that I know other people will relate to. I’m very proud of this album and I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it."

The complete track listing follows:
1. Bad Things
2. Simple Love
3. I Won't Give Up
4. Jessie
5. Still the Same
6. You Needed Me
7. Stuck Like Glue
8. The Climb

10. May You Never
11. What We Ain't Got
