The exquisite new album celebrates Anka’s unparalleled artistry in a career that has spanned seven decades, produced an astonishing catalogue of hits and shaped the soundtrack of multiple generations -on a global scale. Featuring nine original recordings and two beloved hit songs, INSPIRATIONS OF LIFE AND LOVE offers Anka fans old and new an opportunity to reflect on what matters most, during that time of year when love gets the focus it deserves and just in time for Valentine’s season and springtime. Notably, two tracks on the album were co-written with musical icons in their own rights: Michael Jackson (“Love Never Felt So Good”), and Jack White (“Freedom – Prefer the Fade”). Anka, who famously wrote hits for iconic artists including Frank Sintra, Connie Francis and Buddy Holly continues to collaborate and create with artists across the spectrum of genres from pop, to rock to hip hop.

INSPIRATIONS OF LIFE AND LOVE was recorded mainly in Anka’s home studio in California, with symphony orchestra accompaniment recorded in Budapest. The gorgeous and orchestral album comes following Anka’s highly acclaimed documentary film Paul Anka: His Way, which premiered at last year’s TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) to great reception. The film will be making its way to the public soon, with distribution to be announced in the coming months.
