Def Leppard, Great Britain's premier arena rock
band, is back with a bang - kicking off 2008 with
the release of their 14th studio album entitled Songs
From The Sparkle Lounge . The album contains 11
new songs, including the highly-anticipated single
"Nine Lives" featuring a groundbreaking
collaboration with country music superstar Tim
McGraw. Songs From The Sparkle Lounge is
Def Leppard's first album of new material since 2002's
X and begins yet another remarkable new chapter
in the band's 30-year recording career.
Recorded last year during month-long stints at lead
singer Joe Elliott's Dublin studio, the album's
title refers to a backstage area called "The Sparkle
Lounge" on Def Leppard's 2006 tour where the band
would go to write songs. Tracks from the album have
been described by the group as written in the style
of Hysteria, with the production of High 'n'
Dry.
"The whole record's got a great '70s feel,"
says lead singer Joe Elliott. "By our standards,
it's a very different album as we've been very adventurous,
musically, on certain numbers. On the album there are
classic Def Leppard songs and then there's also tracks
that are very new-wave influenced while others sound
like middle-to-late '70s AC/DC. There will definitely
be some moments on it where anybody that's familiar
with our music will go, 'Whoa! I wasn't expecting that!'"
