GLENN HUGHES: 'I Have Found A New Belief In Myself'

October 13, 2007

Legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) has issued the following update:

"Just wanted to give you all some info on the new, yet-unrecorded album. My songs and songwriting, have become more important to me these past couple of years, and lookin' at this made me realize that I need to be makin' music that is completely satisfyin' to me as an artist...

"When I got clean and sober in '91, I hadn't written anything in a few years, so when I was freed from the human bondage, the floodgates opened.

"All through the Nineties I was blessed with the serenity to move forward, and grow as a human being, and live and breathe in God's grace... Since 'Soulmover' and 'Music For The Divine', I have found a new belief in myself, not only as an artist, but as a man who is now come home...

"I asked myself a question this spring: 'What is the right and appropriate musical path for me?' The answer was quite simple, I have to make music that is pure and natural... It felt like I was seeing myself for the first time, and for once I had zero fear of what was in front of me.

"I had this feelin' early on in my career with 'You Are The Music, We're Just The Band'. I was just 20 years old when this album was recorded, but I had a strong vision, and I took my songs and arrangements to a new level in that period. For a young lad at that age to add alto sax, and vibes, and pedal steel, was pretty risky, but it worked like a charm. With my new album, I feel it is time to love myself enough, and be brave enough.

"There will be more Glenn original songs than ever before.

"I have been in my studio day and night, when I am home in L.A.

"This will be the funkiest album I've made so far. Yeah, I got somethin' cookin'. A couple song titles for you: 'We Go To War' and 'Imperfection'."
