THE WAY IT IS

Launched in 1999, The Way It Is marks a turning point towards a more melodic and rhythmic sound on Glenn Hughes' solo trajectory. Moving away from the darker tones of Addiction, this album embraces hard rock with funk influences, with a lighter, more emotional touch. JJ Marsh co-writes and plays guitar throughout the record, while Gary Ferguson and Marc Bonilla bring rhythmic and harmonic depth. The collaborations of Stevie Salas and Matt Sorum add a special touch to two important themes. Hughes' bass is fluid and expressive, complementing his powerful voice with high rhythmic accuracy. The album balances introspection and audacity, offering both emotional ballads and energetic rocker themes. A Freedom version of Jimi Hendrix is a nod to Hughes' psychedelic influences. The composition is personal but universal, reflecting resilience and creative renewal. The Way It Is is a safe launch that fuses genres and demonstrates Hughes' versatility. Ideal for rock lovers with soul, funk and lyrical depth. A vibrant chapter in the evolution of a true rock icon.
