Bruce Springsteen to release 74 previously unreleased songs in June

BarcelonaBruce Springsteen fans can now mark June 27th on their calendars. That will be the day the Boss will release Tracks II: The Lost Albums (Sony), a collection of 83 songs, 74 of which are previously unreleased. The songs, created and recorded between 1983 and 2018, will be grouped into a seven-disc (or nine-vinyl) box set and represent the continuation of Tracks, the four-CD set of also previously unreleased songs that Springsteen released in 1998. Each disc will have its own design, and the box will include a 100-page cloth booklet with archival photos and liner notes about each album. According to Springsteen, The lost albums "They were complete albums." Some were even mixed, but never released. "I've played that music for myself and often for close friends for years," the singer adds in the press release announcing the release.

Among the songs on these "lost albums" is a soundtrack for a movie that was never made, combos country with pedal steel and explorations in lo-fi from the time that separates the records Nebraska and Born in the USA All the musical material from the sessions will also be published. Streets of Philadelphia. After using synthesizers to record Streets of PhiladelphiaSpringsteen continued to experiment with that format, resulting in an LP heavily influenced by hip-hop. Although he had it ready for release, the Boss ultimately backed out because he wasn't convinced enough by the lyrics, as he explained in his memoir. Born to run.

To announce the release of Tracks II: The Lost Albums, Springsteen has advanced one of the singles, Rain in the river, which will be part of the album Perfect worldThe singer describes it as a special album because, unlike the others, "it wasn't conceived as a record" but as "a space" in which he has united several songs. On the other albums, fans of the American singer will find songs like Ciudad Juárez and The Aztec dance, which explore Mexican culture across the southern border of the United States, and Twilight hours, a peculiar fusion of orchestral and Springsteen's signature pop.
