Grammy Award winning, legendary music icon and master of progressive rock, Alan Parsons has returned with a new album, \u201cThe Secret\u201d which is out today via Frontiers Music Srl.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Additionally Alan has released a new video for the song “As Lights Fall,” directed by Patrick Read Johnson\u00a0Watch it HERE: https:\/\/youtu.be\/qImCjQ4K988<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I am very proud of\u00a0The Secret\u00a0album. It has taken many years to get to the occasion of its final release. It represents one of my lifelong passions – the craft of magic, says Alan Parsons.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He continues, “The album features some great material contributed by the members of my live band and I was thrilled to be able to works with Jason Mraz and Lou Gramm as guest vocalists, and with Steve Hackett as a guest guitar soloist. It also was also a pleasure to see a return performance by guitarist Ian Bairnson who played on all the Alan Parsons Project albums.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The video for ‘I Can\u2019t Get There From Here’ was shot near my home in Santa Barbara. Many people including Serafino, the head of my record label – Frontiers, has said it brought him to tears, and does so every time he watches it.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am also delighted with the video for ‘As Lights Fall.’ I never thought I could be talked into singing in front of a camera for a music video, but Patrick Johnson made me feel very comfortable and even said that I had skills as an actor exclaims Parsons.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt has been the honor of a lifetime to have been invited, by my dear friend, to be so deeply involved with \u201cThe Secret\u201d.\u00a0Between having my song, \u201cI Can\u2019t Get There From Here\u201d share the stage with so many other wonderful works, to designing the album cover and inside art, to being able to collaborate with Alan, Lisa, and the amazing musicians, and audio wizards, who comprise his band, and production team, on our two videos\u2026<\/div>\n
I would say I\u2019ve reached the summit, but for the fact that I\u2019m pretty sure the magician known as Alan Parsons has quite a few more tricks up his sleeve,” says director Patrick Read Johnson.<\/div>\n

Alan\u2019s longtime hobby has been performing magic and this brand new album showcases his own passion for the craft, hence the title \u201cThe Secret.\u201d The album sees a return to the pop rock sound with symphonic and progressive rock interludes which the Alan Parsons Project was known for.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With his long-standing previous APP collaborators, guitarist Ian Bairnson, drummer Stuart Elliott and orchestral arranger Andrew Powell, Alan dropped the \u201cProject\u201d identity for AlanParsons\u2019 \u201cTry Anything Once\u201d in 1994. The partnership continued for \u201cOn Air\u201d in 1996 and \u201cThe Time Machine\u201d in 1999. During this time, the first incarnation of \u201cAlan Parsons Live Project\u201d toured extensively all over the globe. Following Alan\u2019s relocation to California in 1999, a brand new Live Project band was formed in 2003. Another band reshuffle happened in 2010. The current live band consists of Alan on acoustic guitar, keyboards and vocals, P.J. Olsson on vocals, Tom Brooks on keyboards, Guy Erez on bass, Jeff Kollman on guitar and vocals, Danny Thompson on drums, Todd Cooper on sax, percussion and vocals, Dan Tracey on guitar and vocals.<\/div>\n

Parsons\u2019 last album “A Valid Path”, a unique foray into the world of electronica, was released in 2004.<\/div>\n
