Rick Springfield is releasing a new album on August 4th title Automatic. There are 20 tracks on this album and he released a couple songs off the album, the title track and ‘She Walks with the Angels’ which you can check out on the Eagle page. Rick is currently out on tour with stops in Decatur, Ill and Omaha, Ne at the end of August.
More on the album’s focus, per a news release:
The album, described by Springfield, as 20 new songs stylistically somewhere between “Working Class Dog” and “Tao”. Sonically, the album sees Springfield returning to his first love of guitar-based power pop and keyboards, while lyrically featuring his favored subjects of love, sex and death. “My goal was solid three- minute tunes with the biggest hooks I could come up with.”
Automatic was written and produced by Springfield and features himself playing all guitars and keyboards. The album was engineered by and dedicated to Springfield’s friend and soundman for over 25 years, Matty Spindel, who passed away late last year. Springfield notes, “His loss is something that will be felt by me, my band and the entire touring family for a long, long time.”
