Chicago will celebrate their 55th anniversary by releasing a new album, ‘Born for This Moment.’
Born for This Moment, which will also be known as Chicago XXXVIII (37), will be released coming up on July 15th. Founding member and keyboardist Robert Lamm said, “I hope that, 55 years from now, listeners will actually feel something about our music and our lyrics.”
He added, "I mean, we’re all human. We all go through some variation of the same pain and joy at some point in our lives, and there’s a commonality to that. I hope listeners in the future will actually get all those feelings while listening to our music."
Trumpet player Lee Loughnane said, "One of the big reasons this album works so well is that when you put it on and play it, you hear something you’re not quite expecting to hear, and it immediately pulls you in musically and emotionally.”
The album contains 14 songs.The group has just released another single from the album, "Firecracker." Chicago is currently on their summer tour with Brian Wilson.
