Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You (2020) [Vinyl Rip] [24bit/192kHz]

In 2019, as he blows out his 70 candles, The Boss releases Western Stars, an album out of sync with his own shots and unlike anything he has recorded so far. Ciao the E Street Band, its efficient group of movers that makes the stadiums rise, hello strings, brass and choirs ! The boss was transformed with this record into Glen Campbell of the third millennium, detaching himself from the present time, playing more the timeless card of innocence and nonchalance rather than that of resistance and defiance… a year later, Bruce Springsteen's state of mind is not quite the same. For this Letter to You, he brought his E Street Band-or what's left of it since the disappearances of Danny Federici (2008) and Clarence Clemons (2011) - to his home studio in New Jersey to record twelve songs in just five days ! This is far from the fourteen months it took Born To Run in 1974. The success of Letter To You owes much to this almost informal and organic context, looking like a meeting between old friends. The opening ballad, One Minute You're Here, places this twentieth studio album under the sign of a certain nostalgia. As if Springsteen were singing in sepia, we would listen to it as we would leaf through an album of photos of loved ones more of this world and disfigured or disappeared places. He confides in himself more than he talks about invented characters. The effective single that gives its title to the album is there to reassure fans of the Golden Age of the E Street Band. Like the bodybuilder Burnin ' Train that we imagine already taken in heart at XXL concerts or the demented Ghosts, umpteenth demonstration that we can always make new with (very) old, on which he sings who he is, what he does and why everyone jumps in the pool with him. The whole album is so. As anchored in the Springsteen of the seventies. In this unadorned rock'n'roll energy, that only the voice of the boss, chiseled by the years, makes us understand that it dates well from 2020 and not from 1980. The perfect packaging for songs, often tubesque and introspective, that are just as much. Finally, the real surprise of this record is to hear a Springsteen even more at the top of his art than usual…
