CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD release new video and single “AI Lover”

Forewarning: the new CAPTAIN BLACK BEARD single might get stuck in your head for a while.

“AI Lover”, the new song from the Swedes out today on all relevant streaming services, is a great AOR rocker that showcases guitar player Daniel Krakowski’s songwriting abilities and singer Fredrik Vahgren’s creativity with lyrics. You can hear how much fun Vinnie & Robert have grooving along to this one. Another ripper hard rock/AOR song from Captain Black Beard’s upcoming album, “Chasing Danger”.

“AI Lover” is available now as a digital single and official video (watch it above ^^^^ )

 

Captain Black Beard is back with their new AOR masterpiece “Chasing Danger”! The new album features a ten-song energetic joyride of melodic rock with that special Swedish touch. This is the perfect blend of sounds like their contemporaries/friends The Night Flight Orchestra and H.E.A.T.

In late 2023 the band found themselves at a crossroad. Their lead singer Martin Holsner decided to quit the band to spend more time with his family. The Captain had been through a number of personnel changes over the years and the thought of just quitting certainly existed. However, it seemed fate would intervene. Singer Fredrik Vahlgren caught the attention of bass player/founding member Robert Majd. When hearing his voice, Robert knew that if Fredrik were to join the band, then they had to continue and they had a chance to top their earlier albums. Fredrik joined the guys who were 100% focused on making the best Captain Black Beard album to date.

2024 became the first time in the band’s 15-year history without a live show. No distractions were going to get in the way. The Captain spent most of the year perfecting what would become “Chasing Danger” in Wing Studios in Stockholm, under the careful supervision of producer Sverker Widgren with Robert Majd & guitarist Daniel Krakowski co-producing. This album also features over-the-top drumming from Vinnie Stromberg and additional awesomeness contributed by Oscar Bromwall (guitar) & John Lönnmyr (keyboard), the lead single “When It’s Over” (co-written by Wildness’ Erik Modin), a modern AOR statement in “A.I.Lover”, their trademark Disco-AOR is evident in the track “Shine”, a piano-driven ballad called “Piece Of Paradise (co-written with The Night Flight Orchestra’s John Lönnmyr) and the epic ending to the album “In Your Arms”.

“We’ve never been prouder of an album. To come back once again after a bunch of setbacks and doing it this strong feels great!” says Robert Majd. Guitarist Daniel Krakowski concurs: “This is without doubt our best album”.
