It's truly rare for a band to forge a musical legacy so indelibly ingrained into the public's consciousness that their name alone is synonymous with the sounds they create. Chicago is one such band. Their unique blend of personally relatable songwriting based on real life experiences, multilayered harmonic vocalizations, and world-class brass arrangements has fostered a singular style of songcraft that has been electrifying audiences across the globe for over six decades and counting. To that end, Chicago's forthcoming 38th album, Born for This Moment - set for release on July 8, 2022, via BMG - serves to enhance the band's hallowed recorded heritage to the nth degree.
Born for This Moment captures the true heart of Chicago at their full creative capacity. From the undeniable swing of "If This Is Goodbye" to the unbreakable bonds of "For the Love" to the deeply personal storytelling of "Safe Harbours" to the patriarchal aspirations of "Make a Man Outta Me" to the romantic reveries of "If This Isn't Love" and the connective tissue of "Someone Needed Me the Most," it's quite clear the collective force of nature that is Chicago is indeed alive and well and flourishing better than ever, right here in the first quarter of the 21st Century. Over the entire course of 14 vibrant new songs, Born for This Moment encapsulates the scope and breadth of all the compositional and performance-propelled strengths at the ready in Chicago's seemingly endless arsenal of musical acumen.
