Sweden's biggest rock band Europe “have arrived,” says singer Joey Tempest. Be it literal or in an abstract sense, the band is back on track with a brand new smash single 'Not Supposed To Sing The Blues'.
The first single of the rock supergroup’s new long player, 'Bag of Bones' released in the UK on Monday 30th April , was produced by one of the hottest producers, Kevin Shirley, who was in charge of the overall album production as well.
"Kevin Shirley did such a great job capturing the spirit of this band. He just let us do our thing and then pushed us and our songs to the max,” states Tempest. "Finally we express ourselves completely without restraint. Straight from heart and soul. It took some time but WE HAVE ARRIVED!"
Although the single title implies little favour for the Blues, the album sound actually does exactly this. Moreover, blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa also contributed guitar on the title track of the new 'Bag of Bones' album.
'Not supposed To Sing The Blues' was released digitally last Friday 9th March. Europe guitarist John Norum described the new single and album, saying: “Why drive VW beetle when you can drive a Rolls Royce! 'Bag of Bones' is a classic rock album with lots of class. Even my mom likes it!”
