Bruce Springsteen's public relations team recently summarized the artist's year in a press release emphasizing his Letter To You world tour Sea Hear Now headlining performance in Asbury Park New Jersey documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band plus 40th anniversary vinyl release of Born In The U.S.A. Bruce Springsteen also promised never-before-heard material coming sometime in 2025 generating lots of excitement. This sentence specifically mentions a future collection from Springsteen's storied recording career.
The highly anticipated "Tracks 2" box set from Bruce Springsteen contains a collection of unheard music from throughout his extensive career many years since original release Tracks in 1998. Bruce Springsteen possesses a massive vault of recordings many that have never been heard even via unofficial recordings. The previous "Tracks" arrived in 1998 giving fans access to unreleased material from his first twenty five years making fans wonder what "Tracks 2" will reveal from remaining unreleased work.
Bruce Springsteen stated in a 2014 interview he keeps all his options open and carefully considers different ways to release his unreleased material depending on the right context timing and if the material feels like it needs to be released. Springsteen explained his reasonings for holding back this massive box set containing what would amount to five unreleased albums mostly from the period after 1988 in a later interview in 2022 saying many people look at his output from the 1990s as less significant than his other eras but also highlighting that he in fact created plenty of music during that time . Bruce Springsteen has not put them out due to lack of the right timing and that will change next year with planned album release of post 1988 material.
Bruce Springsteen explained in a 2022 interview that during one past winter season he thoroughly organized his entire music archive leading to creation of several Tracks albums slated for release soon. Some unreleased songs feature the band playing on tracks while others present newer conceptualizations during the given time frame. Springsteen stated his unreleased work will provide fans a chance to re-examine what he was doing over that specific time-period specifically referencing that some of that music could be labeled ‘weird’. Bruce Springsteen was interested in fans reactions as his musical vision will take different turns during that period.
Bruce Springsteen mentioned in his 2022 interview a full "drum loop" album that was composed around the time "Streets of Philadelphia" released in 1993 with full instrumentation using loop samples plus various types of synthesizers that should be perceived as unusual by long term fans. A song “Missing” by Springsteen released previously in a film with actor Sean Penn demonstrates an example from this unreleased experimental style project. Four more unreleased albums are from Bruce Springsteen’s post Tunnel Of Love musical projects in the mid 1990s . One known example among those was a "relationship" based album that involved Springsteen with his touring band from 1992 to 1993 that was not ever released including "Back in Your Arms" and "Secret Garden" also featuring E Street Band in a later Greatest Hits collection. A previously referenced "western swing" album that was produced concurrently with The Ghost of Tom Joad will very likely appear if Tracks 2 releases sometime next year which remains hopeful to all Springsteen music enthusiasts.
Bruce Springsteen mentioned in 2022 about the sequel of his previous collection of soul music covers called Only The Strong Survive being mostly done as the recording continued during his musical exploration into other projects. Springsteen also expressed interest in producing a series of genre based covers albums focused specifically on singing and a varied list of specific styles he is attracted towards with projects centered specifically on voice and song selection. Bruce Springsteen feels this might fill gaps during non writing creative times. Bruce Springsteen has listed various styles of music in particular the music genre country could provide as unique projects to create. He has stated specifically a future focus that shifts towards vocal recording within these creative projects. The second "Only The Strong Survive" album has no official date nor guarantee it will ever reach market as a music project from Bruce Springsteen.
Bruce Springsteen is currently without tour dates till his next string of European shows starting May 2025 to July including stadium shows with E Street Band that are currently being arranged and mapped out. Bruce Springsteens Manager Jon Landau told Rolling Stone magazine people should not expect too many tour additions within the schedule while also saying touring in Australia will occur at some point in future without a guaranteed date of touring. Jon Landau explained he could not announce any future scheduling information as yet however also added information that all available schedules have been already provided by Springsteen’s team .
Bruce Springsteen is spending his downtime when not on tour by spending time on set of Deliver Me From Nowhere about the making of his Nebraska album also starring Jeremy Allen White. Actor Jeremy Strong known from his role in “Succession” portrays Jon Landau his longtime manager showing the close working relationship over the long time history. Jon Landau said he and Jeremy Strong became close working on the production and did mention to the actor that there was no need to follow the De Niro style of "Raging Bull" by needing a physical transformation to play him and also highlighted actor Jeremy Strong acting skills when portraying different characters on screen. Jeremy Allen White portrays Bruce Springsteen as they re enact moments behind production of Nebraska. Deliver Me From Nowhere movie currently is slated for 2025 release and should be met by much acclaim among fans and public with unique information and historical references.
The movie's 2025 release may be followed by Bruce Springsteen shows dedicated to playing Nebraska from start to end if there would be a dream scenario coming into reality during 2025 or sometime in the future . Bruce Springsteen is a known figure who enjoys giving audience surprises so there is no knowing what that artist may deliver in near future. With anticipation high among fans the “Tracks 2” album or whatever this specific unreleased material will be called holds very exciting prospect for Springsteen fans everywhere.
