BraveWords Records is pleased to announce the signing of PHIL SOUSSAN who will be releasing a new solo album, “Cosmo Fighters” in 2026.
Phil commented on signing with BraveWords Records and his new solo album, "I am thrilled to be working with the BraveWords Records team on my new album. To me Bravewords represents a truly modern label with modern ideas, thanks to their global presence and brand as the defining source for anything that is happening in the world of rock - kind of like having your go-to music magazine as your label! I am looking forward to collaborating and bringing each release that we have planned for this record right in front of my amazing fans, old loyal and new - the people who inspire us to do all of this.
These songs were written and recorded over the last year. I had locked myself away in the studio and just started writing and recording tracks as I went along. I started in April and finished the album in about November - it was very quick. As such, while writing, I actually played all the instruments and performed all the vocals (with the exception of one track that features Richie Kotzen on guitar and two tracks that feature drummers Carmine Appice and Jay Schellen)
The songs are really about what is going on in the world; chaos, division and the rise of social media to become an incredible tool that can be used for good, or at the same time a weapon that can be used for bad. It is up to us to use our human intelligence, so as to not become controlled by the futuristic villains that we were warned about in science-fiction movies! The styles of the songs run the gamut, from production hit to modern metal, with a lot of surprises. I am so proud of this record, the energy and the emotion that was captured. I hope that listeners will enjoy this collection of music, a trippy journey through the world of my experiences and musical influences that inspired me to create this album!”
