Bruce Springsteen releases previously unheard song Blind Spot - listen now

Among them is Blind Spot, a song that was central to the Streets of Philadelphia Sessions.

The 10-track album has been part of Springsteen fan lore for years and became rumoured as his 'loops record' during the mid-90s.

Based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name, the tracks were influenced by contemporary use of a loop pedal and West Coast hip-hop.

However, despite plans for a release in 1995, it was ultimately shelved and never saw the light of day - until now.

Blind Spot focuses on doubt and betrayal in relationships, with Springsteen explaining: "That was just the theme that I locked in on at that moment. I don’t really know why. Patti and I, we were having a great time in California.

"But sometimes if you lock into one song you like, then you follow that thread. I had Blind Spot, and I followed that thread through the rest of the record."

Following the recording of the Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, Springsteen reunited and began touring with his E-Street Band, something he continues to do to this day.

On the decision, he said: "I always really liked Streets of Philadelphia Sessions...during the Broadway show, I thought of putting it out [as a standalone release]. I always put them away, but I don’t throw them away.”

The Streets of Philadelphia Sessions will be one of seven albums' worth of material being dropped as part of Tracks II: The Lost Albums.

The collection Tracks II: The Lost Albums is to be released on 27th June 2025 and is available now to pre-order on Amazon.
