Tyketto - Closer To The Sun (CD)

Facts 2026 release. Hard rocking songsmiths Tyketto release their 6th studio album, Closer To The Sun, and with it, unleash some of their best, supremely crafted rock anthems celebrating the return of this criminally underrated quintet originally founded in New York. Led by vocalist and founding member Danny Vaughn, the album was recorded at multiple studios in the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop Studios and Rockfield in Wales and from the swing and swagger of "Higher Than High", their deep appreciation for the emancipation that music brings is crystal clear as Vaughn roars: "In the space you can learn to heal/There is music that helps you feel/Higher than high". Alongside Vaughn, Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums, bring top performances and sizzle to the songs. Throughout Closer To The Sun, Tyketto speak to the listener about true life loves, losses and pleasures. From the title track's triumphant, anthemic appreciation of love's power, to the punchy rawness built to make fists rise and hearts race of "Hit Me Where It Hurts", to the power balladry of "The Picture", Tyketto continue to confidently stride the same musical terrain as the likes of Whitesnake and Aerosmith, with the added bonus of being fresh to the ears of many. Closer To The Sun sees Tyketto reaffirming their place among rock's most esteemed and enduring names.
