Rick Springfield Set to Release First Studio Album 'VENUS IN OVERDRIVE' on New Door Records/UMe This Summer
SINGER'S FIRST FULL-LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM OF ORIGINAL MATERIAL SINCE 2003
RICK SPRINGFIELD'S 'VENUS IN OVERDRIVE' AVAILABLE TUESDAY, JULY 29
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 30 -- Grammy(R) winning
singer/songwriter Rick Springfield will release a new studio album on
Tuesday, July 29. VENUS IN OVERDRIVE is the artist's debut album on New
Door Records/UMe and first full-length new studio work of original material
since 2003's critically acclaimed, SHOCK/DENIAL/ANGER/ACCEPTANCE.
VENUS IN OVERDRIVE was recorded in a record 32 days by Springfield and
Matt Bissonette, Springfield's long time bass player. According to Rick,
"It is an album about love in all its forms, and since Venus is the goddess
of love, it's called VENUS IN OVERDRIVE. There is a lot of personal stuff
in these songs but we have tried to craft them so they still have a
universal voice. We are older, yet still teenagers, we have lost people we
love and still love the people who are on our journey with us, we are angry
at some of the crap in the world yet love our human failings."
More upbeat and fun, than 2003's dark SHOCK/DENIAL/ANGER/ACCEPTANCE,
Rick notes, "I think we should have called this CD 'Son of Working Class
Dog.' It has the same kind of songs (from a slightly older perspective) and
was as exciting to record ... ... writing and recording these songs has
been the most fun I've had in the studio since the early '80s." WORKING
CLASS DOG produced two of Rick's biggest hits, "Jessie's Girl" and "I've
Done Everything For You."
According to Rick, the title track, "Venus in Overdrive" is basically
about his wife Barbara. "She is the most loving person I have ever known
and she has accepted me with all my darkness and bumps and warts and all."
The first single from VENUS IN OVERDRIVE is "What's Victoria's Secret?"
Rick says the title of the song "is one of those titles that was waiting to
be written and we just got there first. Matt came up with it and we wrote
the song while we were doing 5 nights of shows in Milwaukee. I had some
recording gear brought into my hotel room and we wrote it there at the
haunted Pfister hotel, room 804. It's basically about the sexualization of
women and how we as males, want that, but also resist it and mainly need to
connect to women as human beings. It's a dichotomy that most men feel I
think."
Two songs on the record, "Saint Sahara" and "Oblivious," pay tribute to
Sahara Aldridge, a young girl who frequently attended Rick's shows and whom
the entire band came to love and who recently passed away. Rick explains
that "Saint Sahara" "is about who Sahara was and how hard it was to have
her leave. It's also a celebration and recognition of the people she
affected in this world. Her mom said (before she died) that if I were to
write a song about her daughter, could I make it a celebration and not
something maudlin, so it's basically a song celebrating her great sprit.
'Oblivious,' is the soul side of the song, 'Saint Sahara,' what we all felt
and how we dealt with it. It is sometimes so good to be numb to pain but
life can't go on if you stay numb all the time. The song itself is about
the denial of the finality of death, but it's still a love song."
As part of the promotional plan for the new album, Rick will be
returning to "General Hospital" in July as Dr. Noah Drake and his alter ego
rocker Eli Love. The storyline will reunite him with the characters of
Robin, Patrick and Anna as well as allow him to perform the single, "What's
Victoria's Secret?"
Rick Springfield has withstood the test of time far better than most
critics would ever have imagined, performing over 100 concerts each year
around the world. He has written and performed some of the best-crafted
power pop of the past 30 years. Earlier this year, by popular demand from
Oprah's audience, Rick made his first appearance on the "Oprah Winfrey
Show" making one fan's dream come true by meeting him in person and then
watching him perform his classic "Jessie's Girl." He has sold over 19
million records and has had 17 Top 40 hits. He has released 17 albums over
his career including WORKING CLASS DOG (#7 US, platinum), SUCCESS HASN'T
SPOILED ME YET (#2 US, platinum), LIVING IN OZ (#12 US, Platinum), and HARD
TO HOLD (#16 US, Platinum). Rick has also won an American Music Award.

Oscar nominee Julie Christie weds
'Doctor Zhivago' star Julie Christie has wed her long-term partner in India.
CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reported that the 66-year-old secretly wed journalist Duncan Campbell in a small, private ceremony.
Christie's brother Clive Christie confirmed to the UK's Daily Mail newspaper that the wedding had taken place, but that he did not attend the event two months ago.
The actress once said: "I don't see any reason for getting married unless you're religious, which I'm not."
Commenting on the newly married couple, columnist Neal Sean said: "He's very studious, very educated and she's always been about broadening her mind, her appeal, that sort of stuff."
Christie is among the nominees for this month's Oscars for her return to cinema screens as an Alzheimer's sufferer in the film 'Away from Her'.
She has already won Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globe and National Board of Review awards in the US for her performance.
The actress previously won an Oscar for the John Schlesinger film 'Darling', before turning her back on Hollywood in the 1970s.
"Julie Christie is something of a recluse, not just from life itself but basically from the whole sort of Hollywood shebang as it were," said columnist Sean.
