Renowned musician Bruce Springsteen has unveiled a fascinating sixth track titled “Sunday Love” ahead of the highly anticipated release date of Tracks II: The Lost Albums, set for June 27. This extensive seven-disc collection features an impressive array of previously unheard recordings that the artist crafted over a remarkable span from 1983 to 2018.
The enchanting song “Sunday Love” originates from Twilight Hours, which serves as a companion piece to Western Stars, a critically acclaimed album released in 2019. This album beautifully captures the essence of the late 1960s and early 1970s with its lush sound, reminiscent of the adult contemporary music made famous by legendary artists like Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell.
To immerse yourself in this new artistic offering, you can listen to the song featured below.
In a recent press release announcing the track, Springsteen described Twilight Hours as a collection of “romantic, lost-in-the-city songs,” reflecting a deep emotional connection to urban life.
The track “Sunday Love” showcases the immense talent of the E Street Band, featuring remarkable contributions from Max Weinberg, Patti Scialfa, and Soozie Tyrell. The production team includes notable names such as Ron Aniello along with Kaveh Rastegar and Scott Tibbs, who also played pivotal roles in the creation of Western Stars.

Springsteen shared insights on the creative process behind Twilight Hours, stating, “At one time it was either a double record [with Western Stars] or they were part of the same record.” This highlights the artist’s dedication to refining his musical vision.
He further expressed admiration for the songwriting prowess of Burt Bacharach and similar artists, revealing, “I took a swing at it because the chordal structures and everything are much more complicated, which was fun for me to pull off. All this stuff could have come right off of those ’60s albums,” showcasing his deep appreciation for musical complexity.
The press release elaborated that Springsteen drew inspiration for Twilight Hours from a rich tapestry of influences, including the vocal artistry of Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams, the literary works of Flannery O’Connor and James M. Cain, as well as the classic film Out Of The Past featuring Robert Mitchum.
