Foreigner is an iconic rock band that has been a fixture in the music scene since their formation in New York City in 1976. Founded by veteran musicians Mick Jones (former member of Spooky Tooth), Ian McDonald (formerly of King Crimson), and American singer Lou Gramm, Foreigner quickly rose to prominence with a unique blend of fiery rock and polished pop sound. The band's name mirrors the fact that the original members were a mix of British and American musicians, making them 'foreigners' in each other's countries.

Throughout their illustrious career, Foreigner has released a slew of hits that have stood the test of time, including chart-topping singles like "I Want to Know What Love Is," "Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," and "Juke Box Hero." They have sold over 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. The latter part of their career has seen the band celebrating their legacy with live recordings and collaborations, such as "Live at the Rainbow ‘78," capturing a performance from their early days, and "With the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus," showcasing their timeless hits in a symphonic setting. Their continued relevance is marked by contemporary remixes like the "BLOND:ISH Sunrise Jungle Rework" of their iconic ballad, reaffirming Foreigner's enduring impact on the music industry.
