Train - Am Gold

Columbia - 19658720461

AM Gold is the upcoming ninth studio album by Train, to be released on May 20, 2022. It is the group's first studio album in five years since A Girl, a Bottle, a Boat in 2017.

Frontman Pat Monahan says that, regarding the album, "writing songs is hard. It's difficult to create something that you love and then other people love as well. Writing songs for two and a half years in front of video screens instead of being in the presence of other humans has been a long, strange trip. And now here we are. It has to start with love. Love that goes into work comes out of work. We love (the title track), this album, and our fans. Thank you for waiting so long for us. I think it was worth it. AM Gold! Here we go!"

On "AM Gold," Monahan is still exploring Train's musical peripherals. The slinky, disco dancer captures the core of loving oneself above all else in the chorus, Breathe, baby, you ain't gotta worry no more / Just breathe, we'll be waiting on the dance floor / And let your body let it go / You're best case scenario / Love don't come in stereo / Baby, you are AM gold.

The last song written for the album, captured the more retro fields of AM Gold, crossing over into R & B, Motown, and disco. "The gold is more of the disco portion," says Monahan. "That's the idea of 'Am Gold.' It's just a self-love song. That seems pretty necessary right now. It also has to do with if he leaves you or she leaves you. If they leave you, just get on the dance floor, because you got all the people that you need and who love you there."
