I think it will be the release of the single from the album. On the other hand, let's see what happens, there are still 20 days before the launch, I hope to see some more movement and information.

The touring machine may have worn him down, but the whole stuff, downtalking the band's recent stuff, even tracks like Runaway... that comes across really shitty given he's yet to do anything now that he's free of the chains of the band's machine.
What does Ori do for a living, actually? Richie has that Bon Jovi money left to burn, but do they really make that much money touring? Does she do gigs on the side, other than solo shows? Does Richie do encore performances of Sugar Daddy for her?

Every album by Richie has taken its time, this is not new, the only difference is that this time is a joint project with Orianthi.
Richie said lately that he was tired of the process of recording album + Tour + recording album + Tour + Recording Album+Tour ... So this makes sense to me. I think the Bon Jovi albums were done at a very fast pace to fit the schedule of a future world tour, and little time to recharge batteries or just to reflect. Richie is over 55, no longer the young man he used to be, so he wants his life to be more relaxed, and I have no problem with that. Albums of Metallica, U2, Aerosmith and a lot of more groups take the necessary time between their last tour and the recording of their next album. They all look healthier than Bon Jovi to this day.

That's sad. You do not seem to give a shit just because not with Bon Jovi anymore. Imagine we're in 1991 and you do not give a shit about Stanger in this Town simply because Jon and Richie are no longer best friends.
The only thing that this release scares me a little, is Orianthi, I do not know if this mix is going to please me, I'm a big fan of Richie, I want to Richie sing and do his solo, so it's going to be a little weird listen to this union, but hey, music is what matters, maybe there are great things in this record.
And if the thing does not work, I suppose that the next one would be a record of Richie without collaborations.
