Lou Gramm, the unforgettable original voice of AOR icons Foreigner, is back with a fresh original single, the track Young Love.
The single is a teaser for the legendary musician’s new studio album, “Released”, due March 27, 2026 on HNE!
You can already pre-order the album “Released”!
Gramm is joined on “Released” by a whole crew of star names from the world of rock and roll, including Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell, bassist Tony Franklin, and Lou’s brother Ben Gramm on drums!
Gramm wrote all ten tracks on the album together with Bruce Turgeon (Black Sheep).
Lou Gramm, who hails from Rochester, New York, was born into a musical family, and his first major band was Black Sheep, who put out two albums on Capitol. Lou first met Mick Jones in 1975, when Black Sheep shared a bill with Spooky Tooth, where Mick was playing at the time. In 1976 the two joined forces and formed Foreigner, who went on to release a string of multi-platinum albums and singles that regularly sat at the top of the charts. Foreigner were even the first band since The Beatles to land their first eight singles in the US Top 20.
While still a member of Foreigner, Lou struck out on his own and released the album “Ready Or Not” in 1987, home to the big hit Midnight Blue. Another successful solo album followed, 1989’s “Long Hard Look”, which featured the hit Just Between You And Me.
In 2026, Lou Gramm will release his new, long-awaited third solo album with the telling title “Released”. Produced by Lou Gramm himself, “Released” proudly stands shoulder to shoulder with both of his previous solo albums, as well as the evergreens he recorded with Foreigner.
The album also includes the track True Blue Love (Unplugged), which originally appeared on “Long Hard Look” in 1989.
