Rock legend and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, Glenn Hughes, returns with his new studio album, Chosen, set for release on September 5 via Frontiers Music Srl.
The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has a popular YouTube channel, Justin Hawkins Rides Again, and on the latest installment he offers his thoughts on the title track:
“After a nine year hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes is to release a new album this September and I’m reviewing its title track, ‘Chosen’. Glenn is not just a legend, he’s a good friend and someone I’ve always admired. I hope you enjoy.”
Pre-order Chosen here.
After a nine year hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes is back with Chosen, his brand-new solo record: an album which presents Glenn in his most hard rockin’ fashion. An explosive record that offers Glenn Hughes at his absolute best with a state-of-the-art album, both from a songwriting and production standpoint. A truly captivating return.
Commenting on the new album, Glenn stated: “Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and I generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, Resonate.
“While there have been recordings and collaborations with other artists, since 2016, when writing Chosen, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!”
Vocalist, bassist, and songwriter, Glenn Hughes, is a true original. No other rock musician has so distinctively blended the finest elements of hard rock, soul, and funk. His astonishing voice is his calling card, he’s known as a singer’s singer. Stevie Wonder once called Hughes his favorite white vocalist.

Glenn Hughes, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, The Beatles, and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis also left their mark on him.
Glenn Hughes first found success in the early ’70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdale to the group. Despite initial skepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of Burn (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.
During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet, The Starship, and released two more studio albums, Stormbringer and Come Taste The Band, before disbanding in 1976.
Glenn’s first solo album, Play Me Out, was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Travers guitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Glenn Hughes made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists’ albums. The endless list includes, among others, Gary Moore, John Norum, and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.
Since 1992, Glenn has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith, Dave Navarro, John Frusciante, and many others.
Hughes also founded, or took part in, some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.
Green recently collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket,” which was released on May 22. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time Glenn has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released Fused together.
Glenn Hughes has also recently joined forces with Satch/Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar.”
Lineup:
Glenn Hughes – Vocals, Bass
Soren Andersen – Guitar
Ash Sheehan – Drums
Bob Fridzema – Key
