Micky Dolenz Proves He’s ‘Timeless’ With New 6-Track EP Coming This Fall

The last living member of 1960s pop-rock titans The Monkees isn't hanging up his microphone anytime soon. At 81 years old, singer, actor, writer, and director Micky Dolenz has officially announced a brand-new solo EP titled *Timeless*, slated to arrive on September 4. Thanks to the enormous music catalog built by The Monkees over the decades, Dolenz never suffers from a shortage of legendary tunes to perform on stage. Still, the veteran entertainer remains eager to add fresh tracks to his repertoire whenever inspiration knocks. Speaking from a residence he keeps in eastern Pennsylvania, the star explained that the title of the six-track collection serves as a direct nod to 60 years of Monkees history.

When is Micky Dolenz releasing his new EP Timeless?

Fans can expect the six-track *Timeless* EP to land on streaming platforms on September 4. The new studio effort came together after John Hughes, a former record executive at Rhino Records who previously worked with the musician, approached him about cutting fresh material. Dolenz revealed that this pitch-based process reflects how he has handled his entire solo career for decades. When a producer or executive comes to him with fresh tracks, he makes his decision based purely on gut feeling rather than commercial ambition. The former teen idol acknowledged the realities of today's music business, noting that while he knows he won't be taking home Platinum record plaques at this stage, he happily signs on if the material feels right to sing.

With *Timeless*, the veteran entertainer is giving long-time fans another chapter in a career that spans six incredible decades.
