About the Artist

Foreigner burst onto the rock scene in 1977 as a transatlantic powerhouse — a fusion of British musicianship and American hard-rock energy. Formed by veteran guitarist Mick Jones (formerly of Spooky Tooth) alongside Lou Gramm's powerhouse vocals, the band quickly became one of the best-selling rock acts of the late '70s and '80s. Their blend of arena-ready hooks, melodic guitar work, and radio-friendly anthems made them a defining force of the classic rock era.

About the Album

Double Vision (1978) is Foreigner's sophomore release and the record that cemented their superstar status. Produced by Keith Olsen and the band, it reached #3 on the Billboard 200 and was certified 7× Platinum in the United States. The album captures the band at their most electrifying — tighter, more confident, and brimming with the kind of riff-driven energy that filled arenas from coast to coast. The title track became one of the most recognizable rock singles of the decade.

Highlights

• "Double Vision" — the explosive title track and Top 2 Billboard Hot 100 hit, built on a relentless groove and Gramm's gritty vocal delivery
• "Hot Blooded" — a hard-driving opener and one of the band's signature anthems, fueled by Mick Jones's iconic riff
• "Blue Morning, Blue Day" — a melodic gem that showcases the band's knack for crafting radio-ready hooks with real emotional depth
• "Tramontane" — an atmospheric instrumental that reveals the band's musical range beyond straight-ahead rock
