Ringo Starr is ready to 'Change The World'

UMe will release Ringo Starr's Change The World EP on September 24. Available to preorder now here, these 4 tracks were all recorded at Starr’s Roccabella West studio just as he did for his Zoom In EP released in March 2021.

“I’ve been saying I only want to release EPs at this point and this is the next one. What a blessing it’s been during this year to have a studio here at home and be able to collaborate with so many great musicians, some I’ve worked with before and some new friends,” Starr says in a prepared statement.

He first shared the news today on Talk Shop Live, when he appeared on their Rock 'N' Roll Channel to give fans the first opportunity to pre-order the new EP.

Lead single “Let’s Change The World” was written by Joseph Williams and Steve Lukather both of whom also played on the track with backing vocals by Amy Keys, Zelma Davis, Billy Valentine and Darryl Phinnessee.

“Just That Way” was written and performed by Ringo and his longtime engineer Bruce Sugar, with Tony Chen returning on guitar, joined by Fully Fullwood on Bass and Ed Roth on Hammond B3 with Zelma and Zho Davis on backing vocals.

“Coming Undone” is Starr’s first collaboration with Linda Perry, who wrote and plays on the track also featuring Trombone Shorty.

Ringo does a new take on “Rock Around The Clock” with brother in law Joe Walsh on guitar. They are joined by Nathan East on Upright Bass, Bruce Sugar on Piano and Amy Keys and Windy Wagner on Backing Vocals.

Change The World will be available digitally and on CD and cassette September 24; the 10” vinyl releases November 19. Pre-order it here.
