Bruce Springsteen Announces New Album Western Stars for June 2019 Release

Bruce Springsteen has announced a new album, Western Stars. The album, set to be released June 14 via Columbia Records will feature Springsteen’s first single “Hello Sunshine.”

According to the press release, “Hello Sunshine” is inspired by “Southern California pop records of the late ’60s and early ’70s” and examines a “sweeping range of American themes, of highways and desert spaces, of isolation and community and the permanence of home and hope.”

“This record is a return to my solo recordings featuring character-driven songs and sweeping, cinematic orchestral arrangements,” Springsteen says in a press release. “It’s a jewel box of a record.”

According to Pitchfork, Springsteen co-produced the album with Ron Aniello. The album will feature appearances from several musicians including Patti Scialfa, David Sancious, Charlie Giordano, Soozie Tyrell, and many more.

Western Stars marks Springsteen’s first studio album since 2014’s High Hopes.
