Time Of Change [Digipak]

Chris Standring returns in 2026 with a heartfelt eleven song collection of inspired compositions drawing on influences from a golden age. This retro-soulful set harks back to a familiar, perhaps nostalgic time when sophisticated arrangements and beautiful harmonies where all in fashion. Featuring a top-flight four piece horn section and a vast array of orchestral colors, alongside Chris' unique guitar tones, Time Of Change takes you on an invigorating journey from start to finish. - True to the concept inherent in the title of the collection, the multi-talented performer's infectious blend of introspective and fast grooving/danceable compositions, intricate texturing and moody atmospheres is a natural outgrowth and organic expression of this unique period of his life where he's simultaneously reflecting on the past and excited about the great personal and musical adventures to come. Though he's enjoyed over 15 Billboard Top 10 singles and eight #1's - most recently with "Change the World" from Simple Things (2022) and "Top Hat & Tails" from As We Think (2024) - Standring insists that over the course of his past few projects, his writing has not been aimed at radio airplay but as a way to keep himself sane, happy and moving forward creatively. Inevitably, several tracks poppin' from his Benedetto archtop electric will catch the ear of programmers, but he's less focused on commercial success than digging in deeper, following the muse and the music.
