JEFF SCOTT SOTO: 'This Is Quintessentially The Best Album I Have Ever Done'

January 23, 2008

Legendary hard rock singer Jeff Scott Soto (TALISMAN, JOURNEY, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) is currently working on a new solo CD at a studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. According to Jeff, "this is quintessentially the best album I have ever done! I know a lot will disagree because it doesn't really fit in with the last two AOR/melodic rock-style albums; this one taps onto a whole new territory for me. It mixes soul, R&B, pop, and groove with rock edge at times but the bottom line is it KICKS ASS! The album is mostly co-written by Paulo [Mendonça], myself and other writers from the Phrased Differently house as well as along with my Aussie buddy Ben Carey (SAVAGE GARDEN, LIFEHOUSE) and newcomer Sam Grow. It may alienate the traditional Jeff Scott Soto fan who wants more 'Stand Up & Shout' or 'Lost In The Translation', but I know the diehards who understand what I am truly about will hear this as the new beginning for me as I do. It is the perfect musical smorgasbord of influences I love all in one stew! You'll have to wait until we're completely happy with mixes and mastering before any samples will be unleashed but this for me has to be treated like the bottle of fine wine it is."

Jeff Scott Soto will perform with Sao Paulo, Brazil's TEMPESTT during the latter band's upcoming European tour beginning March 1. According to Soto's newsletter, Jeff will join TEMPESTT "about seven songs into their set [every night], performing the song he dueted with them on the upcoming album plus another six or seven songs from the Jeff Scott Soto repertoire (TALISMAN, 'Rock Star', solo, JOURNEY, etc.) as well as returning to the stage for the encore."
