Rock
artist Todd Rundgren has been a part of the music industry for the last
50 years. He found solo success in the seventies and has become a
touring force for the last decade. He is preparing to release his new
studio album "White Knight," on May 12th through Cleopatra Records.
On this
new release Rundgren looks to break down the barriers between music
genres with help from some of his friends. This new release features 15
new original studio songs, written with certain collaborators in mind.
He starts out his new album with "Come" as Rundgren embraces the studio
techniques of layering musical tracks to make listening to this album an
experience. Rundgren incorporates some of his seventies flair into the
dance-pop of "Got Your Back" as KK Watson and Dam Funk lend a hand to
fill out the song. The iconic vocals of Darryl Hall and Bobby Strickland
turn "Chance For Us" into a modern R&B gem, while Donald Fagan
incorporates Rundgren's sound into what sound like a lost Steely Dan
outtake. Joe Walsh lends a hand on the progressive rock sound of
"Sleep," then the sweet vocals of Robyn turns "That Could Have Been Me"
into a beautiful, soulful ballad. The album finishes with the funky
beats of "Buy My T" and fellow guitarist extraordinaire Joe Satriani
injecting energy into the closer "This Is Not A Drill."
