On Monday December 9th,
BOSTON’s latest studio album,
"Life, Love & Hope"
will be released in the UK by Frontiers Records. More than a decade in
the making, the new album features 11 tracks replete with the classic
and beloved
BOSTON sound, as well as the latest in the evolution of
Tom Scholz' musical artistry.
Diverse and cohesive, the long-awaited album has something for
everyone. It fulfils the expectations of Boston fans, while exposing a
new generation to one of the world’s greatest rock’n’roll bands.
Boston founder member Tom Scholz.
Scholz says, "These are songs from the heart, each of them taking
many months of effort to write, arrange, perform and record, always up
to the demands of
BOSTON's harshest critic. Me. The songs have been meticulously recorded to analogue tape on the same machines and equipment used for
BOSTON's hits for the past 35 years."
In 1976,
BOSTON burst onto the music scene with
their eponymous best-selling debut album and never looked back. With
over 17 million copies sold,
BOSTON's hits included
More Than a Feeling,
Peace of Mind, and
Smokin' - rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today.
Their second album,
Don't Look Back was another chart-topper that confirmed their place in rock history, followed by
Third Stage, which hit #1 on the charts, with the top single of 1986, Amanda. With over 31 million albums sold to date,
BOSTON's music has stood the test of time, as evidenced by live
BOSTON audiences that spans generations.
Life, Love & Hope includes lead vocals from
Brad Delp and prodigy
Tommy DeCarlo, as well as
Kimberley Dahme,
David Victor, and songwriter Scholz himself. The new album features tracks that embody
BOSTON’S trademark guitars, harmonies, and immaculately-crafted sound. "I intentionally stayed close to the early
BOSTON style on some of the songs, even using the same amps and instruments; on others I let my imagination run wild," says Scholz.
