STEVE PERRY Prepping 50 Songs For Upcoming Album - Feb. 25, 2011
According to The Pulse Of Radio, former JOURNEY frontman Steve Perry says he's written about 50 songs which are in the running for his upcoming solo album. The still-unnamed project will mark his first new album since 1994's "For The Love Of A Strange Medicine" collection. Perry talked to Classic Rock magazine about the new album, saying, "A little over a year-and-a-half ago, I felt I could maybe come back to it. I have been writing. I have about 50 songs, in a little over a year. I never thought I'd do it again, but I decided to open up that room and see what I could find."
He went on to describe the new songs: "Some of it sounds familiar, some of it sounds contemporary, some of it you can't put a label on — and I've never been big on labels anyway."
When pressed to give fans an idea when the album will be released, Perry said: "I'll be honest, I don't really know how to do that. But I can definitely smell a solo project on the horizon. I will be recording some music."
