“Infinity” – The 52nd album by internationally acclaimed American rock singer-songwriter (and long-time Paris resident) Elliott Murphy contains nine musically eclectic songs with the kind of provocative lyrics associated with Elliott since his ground-breaking debut album Aquashow (1973). “Infinity” will be released March 7, 2025 on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music etc.) as well as on a limited edition CD and Vinyl LP.
Produced by Gaspard Murphy, son of Elliott and a producer in the French pop music world, “Infinity” was recorded at Murmure studio in Paris with Elliott’s virtuoso guitarist of 29 years Olivier Durand along with Melissa Cox (violin), Alan Fatras (cajon and percussion). Song titles include “Granny Takes A Trip,” “Red Moon Over Paris,” “Baby Boomers Lament,” “The Lion in Winter/The End of the Game,” “Fetch Me Water,” “Three Shadows,” “Makin’ It Real,” “Night Surfing,” and “Count My Blessings.”All songs (except “Count My Blessings”) were composed by Elliott Murphy in an energetic flurry of creative activity last year.
“For me “Infinity” is a collection of energetic cultural icons dancing their way to all kinds of music. Inspiration comes in waves and new songs started crashing onto the shores of my consciousness sometime last year as I sat with my fingers on the strings of my 1961 Fender Strat or my hands on the keys of my 1973 Fender Rhodes electric piano, trying not to filter myself, and staying open to wherever the words, melodies and chord changes were leading. Each new album I release takes the shape of a novel with songs as chapters and I hope “Infinity” tells a story of our current confusing times and hazy future with icons keeping us grounded.
