Can't Slow Down

Can't Slow Down is the ninth album, released after a full fifteen years, announcing a fresh start with a new lineup. Centered on the sole founding member Mick Jones (guitar), Kelly Hansen (vocals) and Jeff Pilson (bass, ex-Dokken) took part in their first studio work. The new lineup adding Thom Gimbel (guitar/sax), Michael Bluestein (keyboards) and Brian Tichy (drums) updates the classic appeal with a contemporary sound. On songs like "Living in a Dream" and "Ready," powerful riffs and Hansen's soaring voice unite. Ballads like "In Pieces" and "When It Comes to Love" hold lyricism characteristic of Foreigner. Production by Jones and Marti Frederiksen carefully inherited the band's traditional style. The album won RIAA Gold certification, impressing a firm restart for a reborn Foreigner.
