Confirmed: Rocker Patti Scialfa Readying Fourth Solo Album Release for Early Next Year

Share

Everyone knows Patti Scialfa is a kickass rocker.

On albums with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Patti gets to show off some of her chops as a howling singer and intense guitarist.

Now I’m told rumors of a fourth solo album are real. A source in the E Street world says Patti will release the still untitled collection in 2025. The earlier, the better.

Scialfa’s three previous albums — 1993’s Rumble Doll, 2004’s 23rd Street Lullaby and 2007’s Play It As It Lays — are still in rotation at my house. So a new album is very good news.

It’s particularly good news since Patti has been battling multiple myeloma since 2018, a face revealed in the excellent new Springsteen doc, “Road Diary.” But she looks great, and maybe the new album will include here recent duet with Bruce on “Addicted to Romance.”
