Lou Gramm (Foreigner)

As the iconic voice behind one of arena rock’s most enduring bands, Lou Gramm helped define the sound of late-’70s and ’80s rock radio. As the frontman of Foreigner, his powerful, unmistakable vocals drove a run of classic albums and singles including Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded, Juke Box Hero, Waiting for a Girl Like You, and I Want to Know What Love Is — songs that blended hard rock muscle with melodic sophistication and emotional directness.

With a career spanning more than four decades, Gramm’s influence reaches far beyond his chart success, shaping generations of rock singers and cementing his place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as one of the great voices of his era. His work set a standard for how arena rock could be both tough and tender, commercial and deeply personal.

Now, Lou Gramm enters a new chapter with the release of his forthcoming album Released, arriving March 27 — his first full-length collection of original music since 2009. The album features previously unreleased tracks originally written for solo albums in the 1980s and for his band Shadow King in 1991, but never fully completed until now. These songs offer a rare window into Gramm’s creative evolution, reconnecting his classic-era songwriting with a renewed sense of purpose and reflection.
