Bruce Springsteen is celebrating the sweet sounds of soul music on his new album Only The Strong Survive, due out November 11 on Columbia Records. The Boss marked the announcement of the new album with the release of the album’s first single “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” and an accompanying music video.

You can stream or download “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” on digital platforms now here. The video, which was directed by longtime Springsteen collaborator Thom Zimny, is below.

Only The Strong Survive celebrates soul music gems from the legendary catalogues of Motown, Gamble and Huff, Stax and many more. This 21st studio album from Bruce Springsteen will also feature guest vocals by Sam Moore, as well as contributions from The E Street Horns, full string arrangements by Rob Mathes, and backing vocals by Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Michelle Moore, Curtis King Jr., Dennis Collins and Fonzi Thornton.

“I wanted to make an album where I just sang,” said Springsteen in a statement. “And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies? I’ve taken my inspiration from Levi Stubbs, David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, the Iceman Jerry Butler, Diana Ross, Dobie Gray, and Scott Walker, among many others. I’ve tried to do justice to them all — and to the fabulous writers of this glorious music. My goal is for the modern audience to experience its beauty and joy, just as I have since I first heard it. I hope you love listening to it as much as I loved making it.”
