Ringo Starr spared no expense when it came to adorning his forthcoming Zoom In EP with big-time features.
The first single, "Here's to the Nights," includes performances by Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, Joe Walsh, Steve Lukather, Chris Stapleton, Dave Grohl and several others.
Written by Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning songwriter Diane Warren, "Here's to the Night" is classic Ringo in both its all-star execution and optimistic perspective.
“When Diane presented this song to me, I loved the sentiment of it,” Starr said in a statement. “This is the kind of song we all want to sing along to, and it was so great how many wonderful musicians joined in. I wanted it out in time for New Year's because it feels like a good song to end a tough year on. So here’s to the nights we won’t remember and the friends we won’t forget — and I am wishing everyone peace and love for 2021.”
