Rod Stewart has announced that his 30th solo studio album, Another Country, will be released sometime this fall.

According to comments made by Stewart at a recent upfront hosted by his label, Capitol Records, Another Country could end up being one of the most topical sets of Stewart's storied career.

"I've wondered about being in the armed forces, away from your sweetheart and your family," he said during a Q&A hosted by Hit Fix columnist Melinda Newman.

"That must be heartbreaking . . . that is what Another Country is all about."

Additionally, during an interview with Vegas Player magazine last year, he hinted at an eclectic set, saying he'd been experimenting with reggae, ska and Celtic melodies.

Stewart last released Time, his 29th studio album, last year.
