Wait for the Night

Rick Springfield

High-octane 1976 power pop defined by gritty guitars and street-smart swagger. A bridge between glam rock theatricality and the polished anthems of the coming decade.

It's Rick Springfield before the synths, with way more guitar and a lot of 70s swagger.

A restless, high-energy surge of street-smart romanticism and guitar-driven defiance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening guitar riff of Take a Hand that immediately sets a high-stakes rock tone.
The gritty, almost theatrical vocal delivery during the bridge of Old Gangsters Never Die.
The transition into the lush, piano-driven balladry of Treat Me Gently in the Morning which showcases a rare vulnerability.
