Mr. Big praznujejo 30 obletnico izida njihovega ‘mega hit’ albuma “Lean Into It”, ki je ob tej priložnosti doživel zvočno remasterizacijo! Ponatis albuma je z današnjim dnem uradno zunaj in je dostopen na CD-ju, v digitalnem formatu, prav tako pa v količinsko omejeni nakladi natisnjen kot zaboj v katerem bo CD nosilcu delale družbo replike vseh petih individualnih sedem-inčnih singlov, ki bodo natisnjeni v različnih barvnih vinilih. Za ponatis bodo poskrbeli pri evoXS.
Album “Lean Into It” je originalno izšel leta 1991 in je drugi studijski album skupine, ki so jo v tistem času zastopali: Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan in Pat Torpey. Gre za prebojni album, ki je skupini prinesel uvrstitev na 15. mesto Billboardove lestvice 200 najbolje prodajnih plošč, iz tega albuma pa izhajajo singli “To Be With You”, ki je kraljeval kar tri teden na prvem mestu 100 najbolje prodajanih singlov Billboardove lestvice, ki mu je sledil single “Just Take My, ki se je dokopal do 16. mesta.
Album, ki se je prodal v milijon kopijah, nosi s strani privržencev skupine najbolj priljubljene skladbe “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy”, “Alive And Kickin'” in “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind”. “Lean Into It” je pokazal, da vsa zgodba o Mr. Big ni le nastavljanje reflektorskim snopom med eksekucijo desetminutnih solaž, pač pa da znajo komponirati tudi silno poslušljive in vnetljive točke, med katerimi so nekatere dosegle status zimzelenov.
