Get ready for a blast from the past! A legendary classic rock singer is making a comeback with his first new album in over a decade and a half. Lou Gramm, the iconic voice of Foreigner, is set to release his solo masterpiece, 'Released', in March 2026.
For those unfamiliar, Lou Gramm is a music legend from Upstate New York. He co-founded Foreigner, the legendary rock band that dominated the 70s and 80s with hits like 'I Want to Know What Love Is' and 'Hot Blooded'. Gramm's powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence made him an integral part of the band's success.
But here's where it gets controversial... Gramm left Foreigner twice, in 1990 and again in 2003, to pursue a solo career. And now, after 17 years, he's back with a new album. 'Released' promises to be a conglomeration of the past and present, with some unfinished songs from the 80s and 90s finally seeing the light of day.
Gramm has been working tirelessly on this project with his longtime friend and fellow musician, Bruce Turgon. According to Gramm, 'It rocks hard, boy!' He's excited to share these well-written, good rock songs with his fans.
The album will feature a stellar lineup of musicians, including Gramm's brother Ben Grammatico on drums, and talented artists like Jeff Jacobs, Scott Gilman, Tony Franklin, and Gary Hoey. 'Released' will be available on vinyl via Amazon, and fans can preorder it now.
And this is the part most people miss... Lou Gramm plans to retire after the release of this album. At 75 years old, he feels it's time to hang up his microphone and spend more time with his family and enjoying his hobbies. He's achieved great milestones, including induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
