STEVE PERRY Prepping 50 Songs For Upcoming Album

February 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."
