Glenn Hughes has announced his first album in nine years. The former Trapeze/Deep Purple/Black Sabbath/Hughes-Thrall/Gary Moore/California Breed/Dead Daisies singer and bassist and current Black Country Communion frontman will release his 14th solo album Chosen on September 5 via Frontiers Music.
"Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say," says Hughes. "It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, Resonate. There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists since 2016”.
"When writing Chosen, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet Earth. Music is the healer!"
Hughes has also released a video for the album's title track, which is embedded below. Joining Hughes on Chosen are guitarist Soren Andersen, drummer Ash Sheehan, and Bob Fridzema on keyboards.
Hughes will embark on The Chosen Years Tour on September 2 at De Boerderij in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. The run of shows reaches the UK in mid-October and wraps up in South America in November. Full dates below.
Hughes is currently on the road in Europe with Black Country Communion. The band also play France's Hellfest in July, where Hughes has been invited to join the SatchVai Band onstage,
