Soulful songstress Sharon Jones was planning a busy year with her Dap-Kings, gearing up to release a new album and go on tour, but a wrench was thrown in her plans when she was diagnosed with cancer. Now having completed surgery, Jones has set new plans for early 2014.

According to a press release, Jones's postponed album Give the People What They Want will be, well, given to the people on January 14 via Daptone Records.

That will be followed by some touring, though her only date currently scheduled is a show at New York's Beacon Theater on February 6.

For now, check out a colourful animated video for the new track "Retreat!" below.
