III

CoreLeoni's first album of original material, and the first with Eugent Bushpepa singing. The band calls it their first original effort in as many words, and the Japanese label's copy says the same. The physical disc one runs eleven songs and ends on a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash"; the four bonus tracks — "Say Goodbye", "Good Time Lover", "Fist In Your Face" and "I'm On My Way" — are all Gotthard songs the band covered themselves. The band's own news of 3 May 2022 names everyone involved. Leo Leoni produced; Leoni and Gotthard's Davide Pagano recorded it at Yellow House Studio in Switzerland; Charlie Bauerfeind mixed; Sascha 'Busy' Buehren mastered it in Berlin; Ekaterina Bosova Leonova did the artwork. Track nine, "Deep In My Soul", is an unreleased song written by a former bandmate of Leoni's, the Hammond player Nello 'Neil' Otupacca. There are two release dates and both are real. The international edition was announced for 13 May, then pushed to 20 May for production reasons; the Japanese edition kept 13 May, which was also the day of the release party at the Old Capitol in Langenthal. The band reported the album reaching number 2 in Switzerland and number 39 in Germany. One thing to note about the player above: it is the streaming edition, which drops "Greetings From Russia" — track four of the physical disc — entirely and appends two of the bonus songs instead, making twelve. The list on this page follows the player.
