Bruce Springsteenin uusi studioalbumi Only The Strong Survive on viidentoista kappaleen kokoelma soulmusiikin rakastetuimpia kappaleita. Levy juhlistaa soulin helmiä mm. Motownin, Gamblen ja Huffin, Staxin ja monien muiden legendaarisista katalogeista. Only The Strong Survive on Springsteenin 21. studioalbumi.
“I wanted to make an album where I just sang. And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies? I’ve taken my inspiration from Levi Stubbs, David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, the Iceman Jerry Butler, Diana Ross, Dobie Gray, and Scott Walker, among many others. I’ve tried to do justice to them all—and to the fabulous writers of this glorious music. My goal is for the modern audience to experience its beauty and joy, just as I have since I first heard it. I hope you love listening to it as much as I loved making it.” – Bruce Springsteen kertoo.
Only The Strong Survive nauhoitettiin New Jerseyssä, sen tuotannosta vastaavat Ron Aniello ja Jon Landau. Albumi on ensimmäinen kokonaisuus Springsteeniltä sitten vuonna 2020 ilmestyneen Letter To You -levyn, joka debytoi #1 sijalla yhteensä 11 eri maassa.
