For more than four decades, Donnie Vie has been making Rock music, and is best known as the co-founder, vocalist, and songwriter behind Enuff Z’Nuff. On July 31, 2026, Wicked Cool Records will release a definitive edition of Beautiful Things, presenting Vie’s solo album in a newly remastered and expanded format complete with two bonus tracks, “Instant Karma” and “All My Favorite Things.”

While his work with Enuff Z’Nuff built his reputation, Vie’s solo catalog reveals a more personal and expansive side of his artistry. Across the albums Just Enough!, The White Album, Wrapped Around My Middle Finger, and Beautiful Things, he has continued to refine a sound rooted in classic songwriting while documenting the highs and lows of his life through music.

Originally released independently, Beautiful Things never received the wide-reaching release many felt it deserved. Now, fully remastered and officially released by Wicked Cool Records, the album is offering fans two additional songs that further expand Vie’s solo catalog.

Vie says of the album:

I’m a pretty transparent artist. I put it all out there, and my work usually reflects the state of my mind at the time, and much of it became pretty dark. With Beautiful Things, instead I put it all ON there, and I can’t imagine it getting much brighter. Haha.

To celebrate the release, Vie will perform a special album release show at The Cutting Room in New York City on August 8.

Prior to that, he’ll join Rock band Zebra for a second Midwest appearance.
