For all of his accomplishments as an actor, best-selling author and documentary subject, Rick Springfield has always insisted his first love is music, a passion he’s harbored since first picking up the guitar at the age of 12 in his native Australia. With 25 million albums sold, 17 top-40 hits, including “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody” and “Human Touch,” as well as a 1981 Grammy® for Best Male Rock Vocal win for his No. 1 hit single “Jessie’s Girl” behind him, Springfield has more to say with his latest Universal Music Enterprises release, Songs for the End of the World. “That’s why I put a lot of thought and energy into making records,” he says. “I’d like to continue changing people’s minds about me. And I have to write about what I know about, and what’s important to me. I’m still hungry.”
With Songs for the End of the World, Rick Springfield continues to do what he does best —applying his sardonic view to life as we live it today, offering a ray of hope in the midst of all the turmoil. “The darker side of my nature creeps in and out, but so does a degree of optimism,” he says. “In the end, I believe that solace and healing can be found in the presence of someone who understands, loves and accepts you for who you are, even while these looming threats remain.”
