Bruce Springsteen has revealed that he has written an “album’s worth” of songs for a new E Street Band record that he says will lead to a tour. Springsteen shared the news with Martin Scorsese at a Netflix promotional event in Los Angeles. “I’ve spent about seven years without writing anything for the [E Street] band,” Springsteen said, according to Variety. “I couldn’t write anything for the band. And I said, ‘Well, of course . you’ll never be able to do that again!’ And it’s a trick every time you do it, you know? But it’s a trick that, because of that fact that you can’t explain, cannot be self-consciously duplicated. It has to come to you in inspiration.” “And then about a month or so ago, I wrote almost an album’s worth of material for the band. And it came out of just. I mean, I know where it came from, but at the same time, it just came out of almost nowhere,” he continued. “And it was good, you know. I had about two weeks of those little daily visitations, and it was so nice. It makes you so happy. You go, ‘F**k, I’m not f**ked, all right? There’ll be another tour!” Last month, Springsteen announced his first new studio album in over five years. The album, titled Western Stars, was recorded primarily at Springsteen’s home studio in New Jersey, with additional recording in California and New York. Columbia Records will release the album, which will be available on June 14. Springsteen’s 19th studio album draws inspiration in part from the Southern California pop records of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
