đ¤ Bruce Springsteen has a new single out
đ¤ It's the third single released from a tribute album
đ¤ Other artists are on the album due out next month
Peptic ulcers forced Bruce Springsteen to end his 2023 tour with the E Street Band after performing three shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford in September. But they promised to be back.
That was a well-kept promise. The Boss is back better and healthier than ever, having resumed his 2024 tour in Phoenix in March, and performing shows across Europe. The band wrapped up two gigs at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and is heading to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 7. The tour is expected to wrap up in Vancouver on Nov. 22.
Touring hasnât been the only thing on Springsteenâs plate.
He just released the third single, âShe Donât Love Me Now,â off the upcoming Jesse Malin tribute album, âSilver Patron Saints: The Songs Of Jesse Malin.â
Maybe you already heard it on Wednesday night when New Jersey 101.5 talk show host Steve Trevelise interviewed longtime radio and music industry veteran Jerry Rubino to discuss the album and the single.
Malin is a rock musician, guitarist, and songwriter from Queens, New York, who began his performing career in the band, Heart Attack, and rose to fame as the vocalist of D Generation.
In May 2023, the 57-year-old Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He is now undergoing a strict daily regimen with physical therapy and stem-cell treatments.
âWhile I was working hard on my recovery at a clinic in Argentina, I had no idea that my friends and the producers of this record were reaching out to so many great artists to have them do versions of my songs,â Malin said.
One of those artists he gave major props to was Bruce Springsteen.
âBruce gave it that Stax-soul thing that we were dreaming of when we recorded the original. Itâs so surreal to me,â says Malin, who recorded the song for his 2015 album, âNew York Before The War.â
For the 2024 version, Springsteen is backed by Jesseâs band and E Street band saxophonist, Jake Clemons.
âBruceâs generosity, honesty and support are equally as powerful as his songwriting and performing,â Malin said. He added that Bruce is just one of those guys who you spend time with and it feels like youâve known him for years.
Malin said when he heard Springsteenâs version of âShe Donât Love Me Now,â it took him out of a dark time, and he felt excited about life again.
This is not the first time Springsteen has worked with Malin. In 2007, The Boss duetted on Malinâs song, âBroken Radio,â written for his late mother.
Malin will perform at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Dec. 1 and 2. He is set to perform a full set with his band followed by special guests at each show including Jakob Dylan, The Hold Steady, Lucinda Williams, and more.
Will Springsteen show up, too? That has yet to be determined. Tickets can be found here.
Other artists appearing on the new album include Bille Joe Armstrong of Green Day, The Counting Crowes, Elvis Costello, Little Steven Van Zandt, and so many others.
All the money raised from album sales will go to Malinâs Sweet Relief artist fund.
