Bruce Springsteen Makes Major Announcement

Earlier this week legendary musician Bruce Springsteen teased fans with a post on social media that read, "what was lost has now been found."

Fans immediately flocked to the comments section to suggest new music was on the way. They weren't exactly incorrect, but Springsteen still managed to surprise his fanbase by announced seven new records with a total of 83 songs.

"Seven previously-unheard Bruce Springsteen records will be released for the first time this summer on the widely-rumored and long-anticipated Tracks II: The Lost Albums, coming June 27 via Sony Music," he announced on his website on April 3.

In a statement on his website, Springsteen revealed he's played the music to himself and close friends for years. “I’ve played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I’m glad you’ll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them," he said.

"I often read about myself in the 1990's as having some lost period or something," Springsteen said in a video posted to his Instagram account on April 3. "And I really, really was working the whole time...During the pandemic, what I did for that period of time was I finished everything I had in my vault. ’The Lost Albums’ were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released."

"The Lost Albums will arrive in limited-edition nine LP, seven CD and digital formats — including distinctive packaging for each previously-unreleased record, with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring rare archival photos, liner notes on each lost album from essayist Erik Flannigan and a personal introduction on the project from Springsteen himself. A companion set — “Lost And Found: Selections from The Lost Albums” — will feature 20 highlights from across the collection, also arriving June 27 on two LPs or one CD," Springsteen's website said.

The 20-time Grammy winner isn't riding off into the sunset just yet.
