Английская Википедия:Forgotten Toys
Forgotten Toys is the debut studio album by David Paich, keyboardist/vocalist of the American rock band Toto. In 2022, Paich announced his debut solo album and it was released by the Players Club (Mascot Label Group) on August 19, 2022.[1] On June 9, 2022, he released the first single titled "Spirit of the Moonrise".[2] Paich said he plans to release more in the future and he has "some stuff lying around here", and is often "slow" because he is "methodical and a perfectionist, sometimes too much...".[3]
Background
During the initial COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, Paich revisited some old songs and ideas that he had "carried in his head for years".[4] This is where the title of the album comes from. This album features Joseph Williams as co-producer and sometimes co-vocalist, Steve Lukather, Brian Eno, Michael McDonald, Ray Parker Jr., Don Felder, and Steve Jordan.[4] "All the Tears That Shine" was originally featured on the 2015 Toto album Toto XIV, which featured David Paich on vocals. This version of the song features co-writer Michael Sherwood on vocals. Paich said that the album art was done by his wife, Lorraine, who was inspired after hearing Paich's original title for the album, 'Broken Toys'. She has previous experience in tabletop design for food commercials and was previously a food stylist.[3]
Critical reception
