Chicago are celebrating their 55th anniversary with a new album.
Born for This Moment, also known as Chicago XXXVIII (37), will be out on July 15th.
“I hope that, 55 years from now, listeners will actually feel something about our music and our lyrics," says founding member and keyboardist Robert Lamm.
"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 and original member Lee Loughnane adds, "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 tracks and they've released a second single, "Firecracker."
Chicago started their summer tour on a bill with Brian Wilson tonight (Tuesday) in Phoenix. It runs through July 26th in the Detroit suburb of Clarkston, Michigan.
