Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famers Foreigner have announced a deluxe expanded edition of their biggest selling album in history, 4, that will be out this September. Originally released in 1981, it featured staples like “Urgent,” “Juxe Box Hero,” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You.” The album spent 10 weeks on top of the Billboard album charts and went on to sell over 7 million copies. Now, from those sessions, there will be a brand new song. Bassist Jeff Pilson made the announcement on Radio Futuro.
“The song had one verse in it, and Lou had sung one verse and he sang the chorus. And it was great, but it was only one verse. He was mumbling the second verse. So we called Lou and said, ‘What do you think about finishing and singing the song?’ So he said, ‘Absolutely.’ He wrote and finished two verses and sang them. He added cowbell. And we now have a new, old Foreigner song… [It’s] called ‘Fool if You Love Him,’ and it came out great.”

Last year, Foreigner did a similar thing with the song “Turning Back the Time.”
