Bruce Springsteen announces new album title 'Wrecking Ball'

Bruce Springsteen has announced the title of his new album.

Wrecking Ball marks the singer's 17th studio LP and will be released on March 5.

The star's manager Jon Landau revealed the record's name to Rolling Stone, adding that it is "experimental" and a "big-picture piece of work".

He said: "It's a rock record that combines elements of both Bruce's classic sound and his Seeger Sessions experience, with new textures and styles. It extends and deepens the vision that has animated all of Bruce's work."

Landau added that the LP has "social overtones", while The Hollywood Reporter claims: "It's the angriest album he's ever made."

The album is Springsteen's first with rock producer Ron Aniello (Candlebox and Barenaked Ladies), and his first since the death of long-time colleague Clarence Clemons, who is said to appear on one track, 'Land of Hope and Dreams'.

Springsteen's new single 'We Take Care Of Our Own' is out now. Listen to the song in full below:
