Bleeding Secrets is the latest project from Grammy Award winning artist Bill Champlin, formerly of the band Chicago. The album is a reminiscent combination of pop, rock, and R&B with a brand new and unique performance featuring three singer-songwriters, Bill Champlin, Gary Falcone, and Tamara Champlin with contributions from legendary jazz musician, Joe Porcaro,
award-winning composer, Eddie Del Barrio, Steve Porcaro (Toto), Burleigh Drummond (Ambrosia), Dean Cortez (Hiroshima), Alan Hertz (Sons of Champlin/Scott Henderson), Will Champlin(The Voice Finalist) and several more. The album is as musical as it is lyrical, painting pictures that inspire and groove. From the powerful guitars and driving rhythm of the opening track, “Man vs. Machine” to the lyrical and melodic visuals of the ballad, “Imaginary Friend”, these thirteen songs are well worth the ride.
