"The album 'was one of my most enjoyable projects ever. I got to work with my son Julian-writing and producing together. A first of many for us I'm sure.' Frampton expressed enthusiasm about the collaborative creative process with his son, highlighting the personal significance of their partnership in bringing the project to life."
"The 'Buried Treasure' single, featuring Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench, is an homage to Petty with lyrics comprising song titles from throughout his career. This tribute track demonstrates Frampton's respect for the late musician while showcasing the collaborative nature of the album's guest-heavy approach."
"Several years after his Inclusion-Body Myositis diagnosis, Frampton came out of retirement in 2023 for a U.S. tour, on which he performed while seated. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the class of 2024. These milestones underscore his resilience and continued recognition within the music industry."
Peter Frampton has returned to recording with 'Carry the Light,' his first album of original music in 16 years, co-written and produced with his son Julian Frampton. The album features collaborations with notable artists including Sheryl Crow, Tom Morello, Bill Evans, H.E.R., and Graham Nash. The single 'Buried Treasure,' featuring Benmont Tench, serves as a tribute to Tom Petty using song titles from his career. Frampton's comeback follows his 2019 Inclusion-Body Myositis diagnosis, which initially led to retirement. He returned to touring in 2023, performing while seated, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2024. The album releases May 15 via UMe.
