Columbia Records – The first new album in decades from vocalist Darlene Love, Introducing Darlene Love, is available for pre-order at iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon.

Produced and arranged by artist / producer / E Street Band great Stevie Van Zandt, the album is comprised of all new recordings, features and classic songs from a superstar cast of songwriters.

Fans who pre-order the album will receive the Elvis Costello-penned first single “Forbidden Nights” as an instant grat track.

Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen contribute two tracks each to the 14-song album (released on Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool label in partnership with Columbia Records) with Stevie Van Zandt penning three songs.

Other writers include Jim Webb, Linda Perry, Desmond Child, Joan Jett, longtime songwriting team Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and Michael Des Barres, and more.

The Love brings her iconic vocal delivery to each song, including “Night Closing In” (Bruce Springsteen,) “Still To Soon To Know” (Elvis Costello),”Love Kept Us Foolin’ Around” (Linda Perry), “Who Under Heaven” (Jimmy Webb), “River Deep, Mountain High” (Phil Spector / Jeff Barry / Ellie Greenwich), and “Sweet Freedom” (Barry Man / Cynthia Weil), among others.

Love’s five-decade career spans some of the greatest signature moments in music, with the Los Angeles native nurturing her talent early as a member of the Blossoms, a local trio who began their career providing backup vocals for artists such as Sam Cooke and Bobbie Day. The new album is due out September 18.
