If you made a list of performers who have sold more than 53 million records, won multiple Grammys for Best Male Vocalist and countless other honors, earned a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and sold out arenas worldwide, Michael Bolton would be on that list. But if you tallied all the artists who've sung with Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles, written songs with Bob Dylan, Ne-Yo and Lady Gaga, penned hits for Barbra Streisand and KISS, played guitar with B.B. King and had his music recorded on a track by hip-hop superstar Kanye West (featuring megastar Jay-Z), Michael Bolton would be the only name on that list. The plan for the new album had two main objectives. First, was to craft a collection of memorably uplifting pop songs that sounded fresh without losing the classic Bolton vocal signature. "The question was how to create something current without sounding vocally or musically like I was attempting to pass myself off as contemporary. I needed to work with writers and producers who have a firm grasp of contemporary music but at the same time are knowledgeable and educated in the world of music I come from." Bolton met up with Lady Gaga and Ne Yo. The first single off the album, 'MURDER MY HEART,' is co-written by Lady Gaga.
