Bruce Springsteen delves into Mexican Revolution on new 'Tracks II' single
Here's to the brave female 'soldaderas' of the Mexican Revolution. 'Adelita' by Bruce Springsteen tells their story, and it's the latest preview single from the upcoming 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' box set, due Friday, June 27. The new track was released Thursday, May 29, and it's part of the 'Inyo' lost album. 'Adelita' is a stirring ballad, or more specifically a corrido, with echoes of battle, blood and honor swept up in the dusty haze of history. The Mexican Revolution took place 1910 to 1920. Listen to 'Adelita' here. 'Inyo' is a Native American word that means 'dwelling place of the great spirit,' and it's also the name of Inyo County, located in the eastern central part of California. The album was partly inspired by the 1990s motorcycle rides across the Southwest Springsteen took when he lived in Los Angeles. 'There was constant border reporting in the Los Angeles Times, so it was a big part of your life,' said Springsteen in a statement. ' 'Inyo' was a record I wrote in California during long drives along the California aqueduct, up through Inyo County on my way to Yosemite or Death Valley. I was enjoying that kind of writing so much. "(On 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' tour 1995 to 1997), I would go home to the hotel room at night and continue to write in that style because I thought I was going to follow up 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' with a similar record, but I didn't. That's where 'Inyo' came from. It's one of my favorites.' 'Inyo' is primarily a solo album, but the Boss does have some help. Mariachi musicians Luis Villalobos, Alberto Villalobos, Angel Ramos, Humberto Manuel Flores Gutierrez, David Glukh, Jorge Espinosa and Miguel Ponce are heard on 'Adelita' and several other songs. For the release, Team Springsteen shared record notes on Thursday: 'Thematically, several songs on the record examine the Mexican diaspora, how border crossing between Mexico and the U.S. has affected generations and the cultural losses endured as a result. It's a musical thread that Springsteen first began to examine by covering Ry Cooder's 'Across the Borderline' on his 1988 Tunnel of Love Express tour.' The world 'Adelita' has a strong association for Springsteen and his fans. The Boss' mom was named Adele. The song 'Adelita' is the fifth to be shared from 'Tracks II' following 'Rain in the River' from the lost album 'Perfect World'; 'Blind Spot' from 'Streets of Philadelphia Sessions'; 'Faithless' from Faithless'; and 'Repo Man' from 'Somewhere North of Nashville.' Springsteen's upcoming 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' includes 83 songs on the seven unreleased albums recorded between 1983 and 2018.

New Bruce Springsteen 'Sunday Love' will spark a romance with orchestral pop
Bruce Springsteen's got the 'lover's blues' on the new song 'Sunday Love,' but Boss fans should have a new romance thanks to the musical gem. 'Sunday Love' (listen here) is the latest preview single from the upcoming 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' box set, due Friday, June 27. The new track was released Thursday, June 12, and it's part of the 'Twilight Hours' lost album. 'Sunday Love' draws inspiration from the '60s orchestral pop of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, with a more specific reference being their great pop classics with Jerseyan Dionne Warwick. The Boss delivers a vocal tour de force on the track, weary of heartache but optimistically bracing for a second chance at romance. The 'Twilight Hours' songs were written in tandem with 2019's 'Western Stars' over the course of a decade. 'At one time it was either a double record (with 'Western Stars') or they were part of the same record,' said Springsteen in a statement released on Thursday. 'I love Burt Bacharach and I love those kinds of songs and those kinds of songwriters. I took a swing at it because the chordal structures and everything are much more complicated, which was fun for me to pull off. All this stuff could have come right off of those '60s albums.' 'Twilight Hours,' according to Shore Fire Media, 'finds Springsteen taking inspiration from the vocal work of Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams, the prose of Flannery O'Connor and James M. Cain, and the Robert Mitchum film 'Out Of The Past'.' The track 'Sunday Love' features contributions from Max Weinberg, Patti Scialfa and Soozie Tyrell, producer Ron Aniello, and 'Western Stars' collaborators Kaveh Rastegar and Scott Tibbs. 'Sunday Love' is the sixth song to be shared from 'Tracks II' following 'Adelita' from the lost album 'Inyo'; 'Rain in the River' from 'Perfect World'; 'Blind Spot' from 'Streets of Philadelphia Sessions'; 'Faithless' from Faithless'; and 'Repo Man' from 'Somewhere North of Nashville.' Springsteen's upcoming 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' includes 83 songs from the seven unreleased albums recorded between 1983 and 2018.

Bruce Springsteen Slams ‘Incompetent & Treasonous' Trump Administration at Tour Kickoff
Bruce Springsteen is proud to have been born in the U.S.A., but he's not particularly happy with its leadership right now. At the first show of his Land of Hopes and Dreams Tour in Manchester, England, the rock star slammed President Donald Trump's administration from the Co-Op Live stage Wednesday (May 14). 'The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times,' he told his cheering crowd moments after he walked on. More from Billboard Bruce Springsteen's 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums' Box Set To Feature Seven Never-Before-Heard Records Adam David Delivers Teddy Swims' 'Lose Control' on 'The Voice' as Finalists Are Set Blake Shelton Drops 'Texas' on 'Fallon,' Says Post Malone Fueled His Return 'In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,' he continued, as captured in a clip filmed by a concertgoer and posted to X. 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.' Springsteen went on to sing the trek's namesake song, 2001's 'Land of Hopes and Dreams,' which includes the lyrics: 'Dreams will not be thwarted/ Faith will be rewarded/ Hear the steel wheels singing/ Bells of freedom ringing.' The Boss has long been vocal about his opposition to the sitting president. In the 2024 election, Springsteen endorsed Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, and four years prior, he opened up about his fears surrounding the twice-impeached POTUS' first bid for a second White House term back in the 2020 race. 'I believe that our current president is a threat to our democracy,' he told The Atlantic of Trump at the time. 'He simply makes any kind of reform that much harder. I don't know if our democracy could stand another four years of his custodianship. These are all existential threats to our democracy and our American way of life.' At Wednesday's show, Springsteen echoed these sentiments during a mid-show speech. 'In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death,' he told fans before singing 'My City of Ruins.' 'And in my country, they are taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers, they are rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just and moral society,' he continued. 'They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.' The performance marks the first of several tour dates Springsteen and the E Street Band have scheduled this summer. After two more dates in Manchester, he'll perform at venues in France, Spain, Germany and Italy through the beginning of July.

Bruce Springsteen Jams With John Fogerty, Tom Morello, Smokey Robinson at American Music Honors
The American Music Honors, an annual event organized by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center, took place Saturday at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, this year honoring Smokey Robinson, John Fogerty, Emmylou Harris, Tom Morello, and Joe Ely. Every honoree with the exception of Joe Ely was on site to receive the award, as well as perform their classic songs with help from Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, Bruce Springsteen, and surprise guests Jackson Browne, Nils Lofgren, Nora Guthrie, and Darlene Love. In other words, an all-star event on par with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was staged in front a mere 714 people on a college campus, and there's no plans to air it on television. Fortunately, phones were allowed, and there's lots of fan footage. (Let's give a special shoutout to Dr. Marty Jablow for his great camera work.)

Record of His Dreams Brad Paisley on That Time Charley Pride Surprised Him at the White House Former NBC News anchor Brian Williams was the host for the evening, and Springsteen personally delivered the induction speeches for Ely and Fogerty. In a revival of some of the best moments from the 2004 Vote For Change tour, Springsteen performed the Creedence classics 'Bad Moon Rising,' 'Proud Mary,' and 'Fortunate Son' with Fogerty. Springsteen also covered Joe Ely's 1995 song 'All Just to Get to You,' and teamed up with Smokey Robinson for 'Going to a Go-Go,' Jackson Browne for 'Take It Easy,' and Tom Morello for 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' and 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.' At the end of the night, everyone from the show came back onstage along with Darlene Love and Nora Guthrie for 'This Land Is Your Land.' The Woody Guthrie classic was a regular part of Springsteen's live show in the Eighties, but it's become a rarity these days. He last performed it in 2013. Next month, Springsteen and the E Street Band head over to Europe for a run of 16 stadium shows. And on June 27, Tracks II: The Lost Albums – a collection of seven complete records Springsteen recorded between 1983 and 2018 – is finally coming out after years of feverish anticipation. The Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, staring Jeremy Allen White, is also due out before the end of the year. It focuses on the creation of 1982's Nebraska, and also stars Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, and Stephen Graham.

Don't Blame Cardi B For Delay Of 2nd Album, Blame Her No-Show Features: ‘I Need Y'all To Hurry Up!'
Here's the thing. It's not Cardi B's fault that her long-in-the-works sophomore studio album hasn't been released yet. At least that's what Cardi said during an Instagram Live session with fans this week, in which the rapper claimed that the real hold-up is the feature verses she's waiting on from her guests. 'I really need these f–king features,' she said in a repost of the session. 'And it's like I'm not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it's like come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Helloooo! Y'all don't want to miss this opportunity. I'll sing this s–t myself! But I really need y'all and I need y'all to hurry up and I love y'all. I feel like nobody want to miss being on this album.'

And the ones that I have not worked before, I feel like it's gonna really, really surprise y'all.' In the Insta chat this week, she admitted to fans that she often doesn't 'feel too confident' about a lot of things, but that she's 'very confident' about the unnamed follow-up to her smash 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy. 'These motherf–kers almost cried listening to my s–t,' she said of her team, noting that they told her there were 'no skips' on the album. 'It's iconic! This album is so good!' Cardi raved. 'I put my whole p–sy on it! I rapped with the bottom of my p–sy! So hurry up!' While Cardi did not specify who she is waiting on, she again encouraged them to get in the booth because, flipping her hair back and forth across her face she promised, 'this album is for the books!… Like, the production, the production, the feelings, the words, the rap… it's just, it's really there. Y'all not even understanding.' At press time no release date or track list for the untitled album had been announced.
