Release: 16-06-2023<\/p>\n
The ninth solo album of ToTo main member Steve Lukather, Bridges, could not be more accurately titled. Luke shares, \u201cI see it as a bridge between my solo music and ToTo Music. The fact that Joseph Williams, David Paich and I wrote most of the record, and the fact I invited many of the old ToTo gang to come and play, brings all this together. It also proves that most of my old pals and I are still great friends, and I wanted to do a record \u2018in the style of,’ as ToTo will never record another studio album. This is as close as we will get.\u201d<\/p>\n
