Celebrated musician NEAL MORSE unveils his latest solo endeavor, “Late Bloomer,” a soulful collection of singer-songwriter tunes. Known for his dynamic contributions to progressive rock, Morse explores new sonic territories with this deeply personal offering.
Recorded primarily at his home studio, Morse took the reins, crafting the album’s musical landscape virtually single-handedly. While Amy Pippin and Julie Harrison provided backing vocals and Chris Carmichael contributed strings, “Late Bloomer” is a testament to Morse’s creative vision and versatility.
Following a rousing reception to the songs debuted at Morsefest in London in early 2024, Morse was spurred to finalize the project for eager fans.
The songs cover a whole range of styles, from the bluesy, soulful vibe of ‘Already There’ and the pop-rock “I’m Gonna Miss You When You Go” to the autobiographical narratives woven into tracks like title track ‘Late Bloomer’ and ‘Chloe’s Song,’ each composition offers a glimpse into Morse’s personal journey.
