To celebrate the news, Bolton shared the record’s debut single, “Just the Beginning.” The song, which is a catchy, swelling pop number, premiered earlier this week on BBC Radio 2.
‘Cause in the end your love, your love, your love / Is just the beginning / ‘Cause in the end your love, your love, your love / Is all that I needed / I feel it in my heart and in my head / We’ll never be on the road again / ‘Cause in the end your love, your love / Is just the beginning, oh oh oh, he sings in the chorus.
The Grammy Award-winner will release Spark of Light later this summer on June 23. The album marks Bolton’s first-ever LP of all original songs.
The new LP is available for pre-order now—here. The 10-song deluxe version will feature two additional bonus tracks, “Somebody To You” and “One Life.”
“We set out to write a big catchy hook and that kind of anthemic chorus that gets people singing along!” says Bolton of the single.
“When you get a call asking if you want to work on a song with Michael Bolton it’s an easy yes,” said “Just the Beginning” co-writer Zac Barnett. “The man’s a legend! ‘Just the Beginning’ was one of those songs that was easy for us to write, everything flowed so naturally. I honestly couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to play a part in Michael’s new record!”
Bolton, who has recorded over 20 studio albums, has sold over 75 million in his career. He’s also a two-time Grammy Award recipient.
