Over the President's Day holiday, I listened to Joan Osborne's '90s hit "One of Us" for the first times in years. This press release about her next album arrived around that time. Here are the details...
Joan Osborne is set to release her 8th studio recording Love and Hate on April 8. The 12 song collection will be released via Entertainment One Records. In support of the album Osborne will embark on an extensive U.S. tour (tour dates are listed below).
She wrote or co-wrote the songs on Love and Hate. “These songs resonate especially deep for me. I feel like I’ve grown so much as a songwriter, using simpler and simpler language, getting to the heart of the matter in a purer way.”
Osborne also co-produced Love and Hate with Jack Petruzzelli and recorded the album in the woods of Pennsylvania and her current hometown of New York City. The pair previously collaborated for Osborne’s Bring It On Home, which was Grammy nominated in the Best Blues Album Category last year.
Of the concept behind Love and Hate, the singer explains, “The image I keep coming back to is that of a beam of white light: we think it’s one thing, but when you shine it through a prism, you see that it’s made up of many different colors, different frequencies. Love isn’t just one thing either; it can be made up of faith and passion, power struggles, humor, anguish, deep spirituality, lust, anger, everything on that spectrum. People we love can bring out the very best and the absolute worst in us, and we can do that to them, too. Love is always a risk.”
