Multi-platinum producer and songwriter Desmond Child has announced his latest project: the live concert album "Desmond Child Rocks The Parthenon - The Live Concert Album".

Recorded beneath the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, during a star-studded concert celebrating Child's iconic songwriting catalog, the album will be released on July 24 via Deston/BMG.

The first single from the album is also out today: "I Was Made For Lovin' You", featuring Justin Benlolo.

The concert, held in June 2022 at Athens' historic Odeon of Herodes Atticus, saw Child reunited with some of his most famous collaborators and fellow artists.

Notably, Alice Cooper delivered electrifying performances of "Poison" and "Bed Of Nails", while Bonnie Tyler showcased her powerful vocals on hits like "If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)" and "Stronger Than A Man".

The concert was organized in collaboration with Greek songwriter Phoebus and under the auspices of the Ministry Of Culture of Greece and the Acropolis Museum.

The evening culminated in a celebratory all-star finale featuring the entire cast joining Child for "Livin' On A Prayer", bringing together artists from across generations and genres beneath the shadow of the Acropolis.

The track listing for "Desmond Child Rocks The Parthenon - The Live Concert Album" includes standout performances of classics like "Angel", "Crazy", "Born To Be My Baby", and more.

This highly anticipated album marks a milestone in Child's storied career as one of music's most accomplished hitmakers.
