LOU GRAMM – Time Heals The Pain EP (2026) HQ *Exclusive*

320 + HQ 1 /// 320 + HQ 2

Legendary vocalist and 2024 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee LOU GRAMM, the iconic voice of FOREIGNER, has released “Time Heals The Pain“, a 3-track EP as advance from his forthcoming new solo album titled “Released”.
To be on CD by HNE Recordings / Cherry Red Records, and vinyl (Friday Music), “Released” marks the long-awaited completion of a pivotal chapter in Gramm’s solo catalog. Produced by Gramm with associate producer Matthew Gramm, the album features ten original songs co-written with his partner, the awesome Bruce Turgon, originally partially recorded during the 1980s in the wake of Lou’s solo releases “Ready Or Not” (1987) and “Long Hard Look” (1989).
Recently revisited and carefully completed, these recordings preserve the warmth, grit, and analog character of the original sessions while benefiting from a renewed clarity and sonic depth. The result bridges Gramm’s celebrated solo era with the perspective and enduring vocal power that have defined him as one of rock’s most influential and recognizable voices.

Framed by shimmering keyboard work, expressive guitar, and a steady rhythmic foundation, the song “Time Heals The Pain” allows Gramm’s vocal performance to take center stage.
The other song on this EP include the terrific melodic rocker “Young Love”, features former DIO / current Def Leppard Vivian Campbell on guitar, and “Long Hard Look”, the title tracks for Lou’s 1989’s 2nd album, that curiously didn’t make it into the final track list – now finally we can hear this fantastic midtempo Foreigner-like tune.

Lou Gramm’s statement on ‘Released’; “My new album Released is a collection of unreleased songs that were recorded in the 1980s during the production of my three previous solo albums,” Gramm said. “These are powerful, heartfelt songs with a great vintage sound taken right from my old multitrack tapes. This new album was a long time coming and it’s a real nostalgia trip.

“When I pulled these songs out of the vault, I knew I had to finish them for my fans around the world so they can experience what I did when I first heard them after all these years,” the singer continued. “It means a lot to me to finally see this album released, to be taken back in time when I hear this music again, to remember working with all these great musicians, and to feel that my catalog is now complete.”

The 3 songs on this EP are PURE GOLD.
Can’t wait for the full album!
