April 26, 2022
As one of the world's most beloved rock bands,Journeycontinues to create new music and thrill audiences night after night in sold out arenas worldwide in conjunction with AEG as their promoter.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, Journey have 25 gold and platinum albums, including the fifteen-million sellingGreatest Hitscollection, with total sales adding up to 80 million records around the world.
Emerging from the pandemic with a supercharged new studio line-up, today, the members of Journey unleash the first single "You Got The Best Of Me" off their forthcoming studio album,Freedom-due out July 8via Frontiers Music Srl - available for pre-orderHERE.
"You Got The Best Of Me" will be followed this summer by an epic, fifteen-track set of new original songs that brings back the grand scale of the group's greatest moments, along with updated and bold new directions and sounds.
"I wanted kind of a punky rendition of 'Any Way You Want It'",says the group's founding member, guitarist, songwriter, and producerNeal Schonabout the single."I usually don't go in saying I'm going to look for something like that, but then it just came to me, like "Wheel in the Sky" did years ago. It just kind of flew out of my mouth."
While the forthcoming album was made with visions of arena and stadium stages, it started from humble beginnings. In 2020, as COVID swept the globe, Schon was stuck at home like the rest of us."During the pandemic, there wasn't much to do,"he says."I spent a lot of time in my little studio at home, learning how to play keyboards and looping. Some of those ideas ended up being songs. So it kind of came out of nowhere."
