Listen: Bruce Springsteen releases 'Tracks II' album of 83 never-heard songs
June 27 (UPI) -- Bruce Springsteen is back with new music.
The "Born to Run" singer, 75, released Tracks II: The Lost Albums Friday, which includes 83 never-heard songs from seven previously-unreleased albums.
"The Lost Albums were full records -- some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released. I've played this music to myself and often close friends for years now," he said in a statement."I'm glad you'll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them."
Springsteen last released the 15-track album Only the Strong Survive in 2022.
The first Tracks album contained 69 songs and arrived in 1998.
"Just building my mansion in the evening sun, glory hallelujah," he sings in "Where You Going, Where You From" on his latest album. "I've got scotch in a whiskey bottle, I've got a round in my Hawken gun. I've got a smile that ain't a smile, black powder on my thumb."
A post announcing the new release was met with positive support from fans, who commented about their excitement.
"I cannot be more grateful for these new albums," one commenter said.

‘The Bear,' ‘My Mom Jayne,' Lorde's ‘Virgin,' and the best to stream this weekend: June 27, 2025
Like clockwork, it's time yet again for another helping of The Bear. More from Gold Derby Overexposing Pedro Pascal, revisiting that 'Sinners' spit scene, Springsteen 'Tracks II' ranked, and what to read this weekend: June 27, 2025 'F1: The Movie' - Instant Oscar predictions FX's award-winning comedy (we're not going to engage in that tired argument again) returns for its fourth season this week. Across 10 new episodes — all of which are now available to stream on Hulu — Carmy (Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (fellow Emmy winner Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, also an Emmy winner), and the rest of the family are moving forward and attempting to make the restaurant a success following middling reviews that call out the chaos and inconsistency of their dishes. Their pursuit of culinary excellence in the face of yet more challenges — including dwindling operational expenses — drives the season, resulting in a compelling new chapter that makes The Bear the awards contender to watch this weekend. However, if you're looking for a more traditional drama, our other prestige picks include: Smoke: Black Bird's Dennis Lehane returns to Apple TV+ with this new series inspired by true events. Adapted from the Firebug podcast, the series follows a firefighter-turned-arson investigator who wants to be a writer (Taron Egerton, also an executive producer) and a police detective who's made one too many questionable choices (Jurnee Smollett) as they investigate two separate serial arsonists. The supporting cast includes Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Rafe Spall, Greg Kinnear, John Leguizamo, Anna Chlumsky, Hannah Emily Anderson, and Adina Porter. The first two episodes are now streaming on Apple TV+. Squid Game: Far be it from us to judge Netflix's decision to drop two seasons of its Emmy-winning drama just six months apart (though separate Emmy cycles, of course), but it does feel a bit like "too much of a good thing." Season 3, which also happens to be the South Korean drama's final season, follows Emmy winner Lee Jung-jae's Gi-hun as he attempts to stop the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and put an end to the deadly game at the heart of the series in the wake of his best friend's shocking death. All episodes are now streaming on Netflix. Ironheart: Marvel's latest series was years in the making, having been announced in late 2020 at a time when the MCU was growing mostly because Disney needed more content for its new streaming service. The six-episode series follows the minor character of Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), an engineering prodigy introduced in 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as she lands back home in Chicago after her experiments get her expelled from MIT. In need of cash to fix the suit of armor she nicked on her way out, Riri teams up with a group of thieves, which goes about as well as you think it does. The first three episodes are now streaming on Disney+. Our top movie streaming pick this week is My Mom Jane, Mariska Hargitay's documentary about her mother, actress and sex symbol Jayne Mansfield. The film, which is Hargitay's directorial debut, premiered at Cannes and also screened at the Tribeca Film Festival. After a small theatrical run, it's now streaming on Max. The heartfelt and personal documentary follows Law & Order: SVU star Hargitay on a journey to better understand and feel close to her mother, whom Hargitay has no memory of, as she died in a car accident when Hargitay was 3. Through interviews with her older siblings and looking at Mansfield's archival materials, Hargitay gets a full portrait of her mother in all of her complexity, and explores how being Jayne Mansfield's daughter shaped her own life and career. If you're not into celebrity documentaries, here are some other new releases to watch this weekend on streaming or video on demand: The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie: Here's a fairly surprising fact: this is the first fully animated, theatrically released Looney Tunes movie in the franchise's 95-year history. It's a rambunctious, gag-filled ode to classic Looney Tunes that finds Daffy Duck and Porky Pig teaming up to try to stop an alien invasion. The film was initially developed for Max, which dropped it during Zaslav's Purge of 2022, and now, ironically, is back on Max after all. : Danielle Deadwyler stars in this daylight ghost story that did better than expected in theaters earlier this year. The Bear Season 4 scene-stealer plays Ramona, a mother of two who is grieving the death of her husband in a car accident. One day, a mysterious woman, shrouded in black, appears in the front yard of their house. She sits there and says 'today's the day' in a spooky singsong voice. She's very menacing. No spoilers, but it's one of those horror movies that's very literal about giving a physical form to psychological conditions. Critics praised Deadwyler's performance, but felt the plot gets too complicated in the third act. Stream in on Peacock and decide for yourself. : This psychological horror indie is the directorial debut of Destry Allyn Spielberg, youngest biological daughter of Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. It's set in a post-apocalyptic America where a plague has wiped out most of the adult population, and follows a group of orphans who get taken in by one of the few remaining adults (Michelle Dockery). She turns out to be insane, and wants one of the teenage kids (Zoe Colletti) to become the daughter she lost. It's a tough situation for everyone. The film is streaming on Tubi. : An under-the-radar black comedy starring Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells, I Don't Understand You finds the humor in an increasingly bad situation. The film follows Dom (Kroll) and Cole (Rannells) on an Italian vacation to celebrate their anniversary and accidentally kill an elderly woman. As they try to cover it up, they keep digging the hole deeper. The cast also includes The Gilded Age star Morgan Spurlock as the woman's son, and Amanda Seyfried as the mother of a baby Dom and Cole are planning to adopt. It's now available to rent or buy on VOD platforms including Amazon. The banger maker is back with her fourth album, Virgin, and critics are loving it so far! Listen now before all of pop music sounds like this in a year. Bruce Springsteen's sprawling Tracks II: The Lost Albums box set dropped this week to gushing reviews hailing it as a "treasure trove" of unreleased material. If you're a fan, your weekend plans are set. The erstwhile duo and early aughts indie-rock royalty, the White Stripes, are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Get Behind Me Satan and, as a part of the look back, have released a new video for their track "Red Rain."

What to Stream: ‘The Bear,' Lorde, ‘Smoke,' ‘A Minecraft Movie,' ‘Nosferatu' and Nelly and Ashanti
The Jack Black-led movie phenomenon 'A Minecraft Movie' and Lorde's fourth studio album, 'Virgin,' are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists : All 10 episodes of season four of FX's 'The Bear' drop Wednesday, Nelly and Ashanti get their own reality show and Bill Skarsgård leads an update of the 1922 silent vampire classic 'Nosferatu.' New movies to stream from June 23-29 — The Porky Pig and Daffy Duck movie 'The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie' comes to HBO Max on Friday (it will also broadcast on HBO on June 28 at 8 p.m. ET). Reviews were a little mixed, but mostly positive for the full-length animated feature. Bob Strauss wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that 'The laugh ratio is more hit-and-miss than in the tightly scripted shorts, but enough jokes land to satisfy most funny bones.' The film had a wild ride to end up where it was originally intended, including a theatrical release in December not from Warner Bros. but Ketchup Entertainment (who will also distribute the previously shelved 'Coyote vs. Acme' ). — Mariska Hargitay's documentary about her mother Jayne Mansfield, 'My Mom Jayne,' will also be streaming on HBO Max on Friday. The Hollywood bombshell died in a car accident at 34, when Hargitay was only 3. — La-la-la-lava, ch-ch-ch-chicken, Steve's lava chicken is now streaming on HBO Max, as is the rest of 'A Minecraft Movie.' A box office phenomenon with over $950 million in worldwide ticket sales and counting, this movie adaptation of the popular game stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa. In his AP review, Mark Kennedy wrote that 'the Jared Hess-directed action-adventure artfully straddles the line between delighting preteen gamers and keeping their parents awake. It's an often-bananas adaptation, with bizarre digressions into turquoise blouses and tater tot pizzas. It has Jennifer Coolidge being very Jennifer Coolidge. Need we say more?' — Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård lead the Robert Eggers-directed update of the 1922 silent vampire classic 'Nosferatu,' streaming on Prime Video starting Friday. Jocelyn Noveck wrote in her AP review that 'it will chill you to the bone' but that 'it may not terrify you.' Everything, she adds, in Eggers 'faithful, even adoring remake ... looks great. But with its stylized, often stilted dialogue and overly dramatic storytelling, it feels more like everyone is living in a quaint period painting rather than a world populated by real humans (and, well, vampires) made of flesh and, er, blood.' — AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr New music to stream from June 23-29 — What will the next era of Lorde look like? 'What Was That,' the singer's first new single in four years, recalls the clever synth-pop of her 2017 album 'Melodrama,' casting aside the folk detour of 2021's 'Solar Power.' The song that followed, 'Man of the Year,' is stripped and spare – just Lorde and a sorrowful bass. Who knows what will come next? Listeners will have to wait until Friday when she releases her fourth studio album, 'Virgin.' (Read AP's review.) — The 'F1' movie, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, is quickly gearing up to be a summer tentpole. Naturally, the filmmakers knew its sound had to be massive, too. That arrives via a score by the many-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and a huge soundtrack releasing as 'F1 The Album' via Atlantic Records, the team behind the award-winning 'Barbie' album — with bespoke tracks from Chris Stapleton, Ed Sheeran, Myke Towers, Blackpink's Rosé, Tate McRae and many more. Learn all about how the soundtrack came together here. — On Friday, arty alt-rock legends Failure will receive documentary treatment in 'Every Time You Lose Your Mind: A Film about Failure,' available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. The unorthodox and influential band finally gets their due in the project, directed by frontman Ken Andrews. And don't worry if Failure isn't a familiar name to you. Some of the featured voices in the documentary certainly will be: Paramore's Hayley Williams, actor Jason Schwartzman, comedian Margaret Cho, legendary producers Steve Albini and Butch Vig and many more participate. — AP Music Writer Maria Sherman New series to stream from June 23-29 — All 10 episodes of season four of FX's 'The Bear' dropped Wednesday on Hulu. Viewers will find out if Michelin-starred chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) can successfully run an acclaimed and profitable fine dining restaurant in Chicago. The series has led to acting awards for White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Colón-Zayas. — Jensen Ackles ('Supernatural,' 'Tracker') stars in a new crime thriller series for Prime Video called 'Countdown.' Ackles plays a LAPD detective assigned to a task force investigating the murder of a government official. Eric Dane of 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Euphoria' also stars. It premiered Wednesday. — Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's second shot at love didn't work out but there's another celebrity couple who has rekindled a past flame. Recording artists Nelly and Ashanti were an item for more than 10 years before their breakup in 2013. They got back together in 2023 and are now married with a son. The pair are the subject of their own reality show called 'Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together.' It debuted Thursday on Peacock. — Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett star in the new thriller 'Smoke' for Apple TV+ as investigators working together to catch two serial arsonists. It's created by Dennis Lehane and based on a true story where an arson investigator turned out to be a serial arsonist. 'Smoke' reunites Egerton and Lehane who worked on the Apple limited-series 'Blackbird.' John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear also appear in 'Smoke,' out Friday. — 'Nautilus,' a reimagining of Jules Verne's novel 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas' comes to AMC+ Friday. It's an origin story of the character known as Captain Nemo and portrayed by Shazad Latif. Nemo is an Indian prince whose birthright was stolen from him and he's on a mission for revenge. — Alicia Rancilio New video games to play from June 23-29 — In 2019's Death Stranding, a courier named Sam worked to reconnect survivors in a postapocalyptic America beset by 'beached things,' gooey monsters trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead. Sam is back in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach , but now he faces a question we've all asked in the internet age: Was connecting everyone really such a good idea? The series is the brainchild of legendary 'Metal Gear Solid' mastermind Hideo Kojima, and fans know they can expect a complex story, flamboyant graphics and some off-the-wall gameplay ideas. (The original included a lot of walking and inventory management next to some mind-blowing boss battles.) Norman Reedus of 'The Walking Dead' returns as Sam, and yes, he's still carrying a baby who has psychic powers. Embrace the weirdness Thursday on PlayStation 5. — Lou Kesten
