Planned for release on June 27, the seven full-length albums will include songs by The Boss that have never been heard. The songs span Springsteen's decades-long career and were written between 1983 and 2018. Springsteen said that he finished everything he had in his 'vault' during the pandemic – the final product of which became these upcoming seven albums – according to a trailer released Thursday. ''The Lost Albums' were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,' Springsteen said in a statement on Thursday. '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.' On Thursday, Springsteen gave the first taste of the 'Lost Albums' by releasing his first single 'Rain In The River,' which comes from one of the new lost albums titled 'Perfect World.' The other album titles, according to a news release, are 'LA Garage Sessions '83,' 'Streets of Philadelphia Sessions,' 'Faithless,' 'Somewhere North of Nashville,' 'Inyo' and 'Twilight Hours.' The collection of albums will offer a variety of sounds, including everything from the legendary musician's signature drum loop and synth sound to country-inspired melodies to orchestra-driven instrumentation, the release said. 'The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions,' Springsteen said. Springsteen is set to kick off the European leg of his tour with the E Street Band in May in Manchester, and end in July in Milan.

Bruce Springsteen to release seven albums of unreleased songs
Bruce Springsteen is to release seven albums of unreleased songs recorded across a 35-year period. Tracks II: The Lost Albums includes 83 tracks recorded between the years 1983 to 2018. In a video, the 75-year-old explains: 'I often read about myself in the 90s as having some lost period or something. Really, I 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. 'So this is Tracks II: The Lost Albums. (They) are records that were full records. Some even to the point of being mixed and not released. 'For one reason or another, something I felt was missing from some of them, or they just didn't feel complete at the time.' He adds: 'Over a period of time, I built up a small collection of full albums that, for one reason or another, never got put out.' On Thursday, he released the song Rain In The River — which comes from the lost album Perfect World. The six other albums are titled LA Garage Sessions '83, Streets Of Philadelphia Sessions, Faithless, Somewhere North Of Nashville, Inyo and Twilight Hours. They will come in limited-edition nine LP, seven CD and digital formats with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring archival photos and a personal introduction to the project from Springsteen.

Bruce Springsteen Will Release Seven ‘Lost Albums' in June
Bruce Springsteen is opening his vault — and unleashing seven 'lost' LPs. On June 27, Springsteen will release 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums,' a collection of 83 songs on seven CDs (or nine vinyl LPs), of which 74 have never been officially released in any form, according to an announcement from the star on Thursday. Fans have long known that Springsteen has withheld many songs throughout his career. Over the years the singer-songwriter has made stray comments about shelved or unfinished recordings, sometimes seeming to itch to get them completed and released. But even many Bruceologists may be surprised at the scale of 'Tracks II,' which is organized as seven discrete projects from 1983 to 2018, each with its own production and stylistic approach. Among them are working tapes from Springsteen's fruitful pre-'Born in the U.S.A.' period and a hip-hop-influenced album from the early 1990s. ''The Lost Albums' were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,' Springsteen, 75, said in a statement. 'LA Garage Sessions '83' has 18 songs from the period when Springsteen was developing 'Born in the U.S.A.,' his monster 1984 hit, a moment of transition from the raw solo demos that were released as 'Nebraska' (1982). Many of those titles, like 'Fugitive's Dream' and 'Don't Back Down on Our Love,' have long circulated among fans as bootlegs, but are getting their first official release on 'Tracks II.' 'Streets of Philadelphia Sessions' peels back the curtain on another phase of Springsteen's career. After using synthesizers and a drum machine to record 'Streets of Philadelphia,' a solo song for Jonathan Demme's 1993 film 'Philadelphia' — which went on to win best original song at the Academy Awards — Springsteen continued to experiment with the format, and word filtered out about a dark LP with a 'hip-hop edge.' But even after fully preparing it for release, Springsteen opted to hold the album back. In 'Born to Run,' his 2016 memoir, Springsteen said he decided that the lyrics on the album, about troubled relationships, were not fully realized, and that he had grown concerned about 'a faint disconnect with my audience' from previous albums, like 'Tunnel of Love,' from 1987, that had explored similar themes. 'I had to come to terms with the fact that after my year of work, writing, recording, mixing,' he added, 'it was going on the shelf. That's where she sits.' Now that 10-track LP is finally coming out. The other album collections in 'Tracks II' include 'Faithless,' from a film project that was never made; the country-inflected 'Somewhere North of Nashville'; 'Inyo,' with songs like 'Ciudad Juarez' and 'The Aztec Dance' that hint at Mexican culture and America's southern border; and 'Twilight Hours,' a rare example of orchestrated, traditional-pop Springsteen. He describes the last album, 'Perfect World,' as 'the one thing on this that wasn't initially conceived as an album,' but rather 'something I put together.' The first 'Tracks' collection, in 1998, was chocked with more B-sides, outtakes and recordings, among them the Springsteen's stark solo original demo of the song 'Born in the U.S.A.'
