An extraordinarily gifted singer/songwriter, Eric Carmen can do it all. He’s a veritable musical double-threat, equally capable of delivering a torrid rocker or a richly contoured ballad. With ‘70s hitmakers, Raspberries, Eric crafted some of the most transcendent power pop songs ever created. As a solo artist, classics like “All by Myself” and “Boats Against the Current” bore witness to a more sophisticated and expansive sound, incorporating complex arrangements, intricate harmonies and elements of classical music. Just in time for the start of 2014, “Brand New Year” is Eric Carmen’s first new recording in over 15 years, finding the Artist in a reflective and optimistic mood for the future, both lyrically and sonically. This new song is the first premiere from the upcoming Legacy Recordings 30 track career retrospective, “The Essential Eric Carmen” – set for release March 11, 2014. [Source]
