Ringo Starr news

Ringo Starr's new song “Here’s To The Nights” is available now. 

LISTEN HERE (with the video coming Friday December 18). 

Written by Diane Warren, Ringo is joined by Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Corinne Bailey Rae, Eric Burton (Black Pumas), Sheryl Crow, Finneas, Dave Grohl, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz, Jenny Lewis, Steve Lukather, Chris Stapleton and Yola.

“When Diane presented this song to me I loved the sentiment of it,” said Ringo. “This is the kind of song we all want to sing along to, and it was so great how many wonderful musicians joined in. I wanted it out in time for New Years because it feels like a good song to end a tough year on. So here’s to the nights we won’t remember and the friends we won’t forget – and I am wishing everyone peace and love for 2021.”

It is the lead single from his forthcoming EP, titled Zoom In, which was recorded at Starr’s home studio between April-October 2020. Title track “Zoom In, Zoom Out” features Robbie Krieger on guitar. Sam Hollander, who wrote and produced “Teach Me To Tango,” sent Ringo a nearly completed track onto which he added vocals and drums. “Not Enough Love In the World” was written by long time All Starr member Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams (full credits below).

Taking every COVID-19 precaution, Starr invited only a few musicians at various times to his home studio to record the music. Joining Starr were musicians Nathan East (bass), Steve Lukather (guitar), Benmont Tench (piano) and others.
