Band’s First Studio Album in 10-Plus Years to Be
Released Worldwide on Frontiers Records
On December 6th, BOSTON’s
latest studio album, Life, Love & Hope will be
released in Europe on Frontiers Records. More than a decade in the
making, Life, Love & Hope 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 yet cohesive, this
long-awaited album has something for everyone and will fulfill the
expectations of existing fans, while exposing a new generation to one of rock
and roll’s great acts. 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. They have all been meticulously recorded to
analogue tape on the same machines and equipment used for BOSTON's hits for the
past 35 years."
BOSTON burst onto the music
scene with their eponymous best-selling debut album in 1976, and never looked
back. With over 17 million copies sold, Boston generated hits
such as "More Than a Feeling," "Peace of Mind," and
"Smokin'," rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today.
Their second effort, 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. This release features
tracks that have the characteristic BOSTON 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.
A beautiful full-color booklet with notes from Scholz
and detailed song credits accompanies Life, Love & Hope, available
now for pre-order on Amazon national shops in UK, Germany, Spain, France and
Italy and all other fine retailers across Europe.
