Bruce Springsteen Only the strong survive

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Only The Strong Survive | The Boss sings Soul?

For his 21st album, Bruce Springsteen has decided to indulge one of his passions, the R&B and soul music of the 60s and 70s, creating his second album of covers after 2006’s We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions.

At 73, The Boss focuses on his voice, rather than the lyrics and music, as he has done throughout his career with the E Street Band. ‘Only the Strong Survive’ exudes smoothness and good taste.

How has Bruce Springsteen’s new album been received by the public and critics?

  • The critics 🧐, in general terms, praise Bruce’s boldness in singing songs that require a treble that has never been heard before, although they comment that the album is a little decaffeinated at the end for being so far from the essence of The Boss.
  • Fans, on the other hand, always appreciate having new material from Bruce, although the sales figures will be far from his previous and magnificent album ‘Letter to You’.

In my memoirs I made a little confession saying that I didn’t consider myself a great singer. But once I started this project, after listening to some of the stuff we recorded, I thought my voice is great! I’m 73 years old and I’m kicking ass, I’m a vigourous old man!
