Foreigner reigns as one of the world’s greatest rock bands of all time. Lou Gramm is the voice and key songwriter along with Mick Jones that catapulted the band through the decades with many hits songs and multi-platinum albums worldwide.

He also has a stellar solo career, with many fine albums like “Ready Or Not” (recently released on Friday Music Vinyl) and hits singles like “Midnight Blue” and “Just Between You And Me.”

Most recently, being honored with Foreigner in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, and also returning to the stage to sing with Foreigner in selected shows in 2025 into now, Lou Gramm surprised a lot of fans recently, as its been announced that he was working on a brand new solo album. That long awaited album is now reality.

Friday Music is very honored and pleased to announce “Released” by Lou Gramm. The ten song masterwork features some of Lou’s most defining vocals and classic rock sounds to be waxed in ages. Co-written with long time musical partner Bruce Turgon (Foreigner/Lou Gramm/Shadow King), the album kicks off with the hard rock fare of “Young Love.”

Remembering the vibes of when you opened up the latest Foreigner album and you heard all this new incredible music, “Released” brings back that feeling when you start diggin’ tracks like “Long Gone” “Walk The Walk” and “Word Gets Around.”

For the award winning power ballad side of Lou Gramm, fans will truly relate to his stunning “True Blue (Unplugged)”, followed by more rockers like “Deeper Side Of Love””Heart And Soul” and “Lightning Strikes.”

Lou Gramm’s “Released” will become one of the most important new rock albums for 2026. We think it will become another classic for the revered artist, and we cannot wait for you to hear it too.

Produced by Lou Gramm and Mastered Impeccably by long time Foreinger/Lou Gramm reissue producer Joe Reagoso, this amazing album will be pressed for a very limited run on Ruby Red Vinyl.
