Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul build their own wall of sound on their new song, \u201cA World of Our Own,\u201d set to appear on their forthcoming album, Summer of Sorcery<\/em>, out May 3rd.<\/p>\n

The track boasts a lush and expansive soundscape filled with orchestral flourishes \u2014 including a bit of harpsichord \u2014 and vocal harmonies that recall Phil Spector\u2019s work with the Ronnettes, the Crystals and more.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Billboard<\/em><\/a>, where the track premiered, frontman Steven Van Zandt<\/a> called \u201cA World of Our Own\u201d the \u201cgirl group entry of this album,\u201d adding, \u201cI always like to have one if I can. The Chiffons have always been very big to me, even the Shangri-La\u2019s, going all the way back to the Shirelles. That\u2019s just something that always has appealed to me, very much. I got back into it by producing Darlene Love\u2019s album [2015\u2019s Introducing Darlene Love<\/em>] and really connecting directly back to that part of my influences that I grew up with but never really used.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summer of Sorcery<\/em> marks the first album of all new material from Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul since 1999\u2019s Born Again Savage<\/em>. While the rocker\u2019s long-dormant group released a new LP, Soulfire<\/em><\/a>, in 2017, that album comprised covers and songs Van Zandt had written for other artists but never cut himself.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>, Van Zandt said Summer of Sorcery<\/em> is loosely based around the concept of \u201cgoing back and experiencing the first summer of consciousness, first time in love, first experiences in life and that thrill of unlimited possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul will spend much of the summer touring<\/a> the world in support of Summer of Sorcery<\/em>. The band will play a pair of shows in Los Angeles and Asbury Park May 4th and 8th, respectively, before kicking off a proper North American tour July 2nd in Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n
