New Steve Perry Album
I was surprised as hell to see this, I thought he was done with music for good after not performing with Journey at the Hall of Fame!
Apparently this new album will be called 'Traces' and will come out on October 5. Here's the first single: His voice has definitely changed over the years, but even so his voice is still in much better shape than JBJ's, and he's more than 10 years his senior! |
Listened to it today. He's still got a great voice even if it's not quite late 70's/early 80's Journey quality. It's more or less how he sounded on Trial By Fire which is fine with me. Still light years ahead of Jon's voice.
The song itself is OK but Steve's voice totally lifts it up. Could have done with a guitar solo. I'm going to check the album out but I'm not expecting an all-out rock album from him nowadays. Watching the video, Steve is clearly enjoying himself and it's great to hear his voice again. |
Great voice, horrible song, embarrassing lyrics!
Yes, his voice may be in better shape than Jon's but at least Jon would never write rubbish like this! |

It's good to hear his voice, but that song is not good.
Nonetheless, it's a fantastic surprise to hear him come back from dead and I expect that an album should have at least one song I like. |

I'm glad you said it, because I was thinking it. He is a killer vocalist, even at his age he sounds strong, but didn't care for the song. Really hoping the rest of the album is better. He's been away from music for so long - I want to like it. |
This guy had a great singing voice back in his Journey days. Gonna give this new album a listen or two when I have the time.

Another song from the album has been revealed:
We're Still Here |

Now that the album has been released, I think "We're Still Here" is probably my favorite song from it (barring possibly the 5 bonus tracks if I ever get to hear them).
|
Bit underwhelmed by the album, too many ballads that all sound a bit samey. His voice still sounds fantastic though.
Haven't heard the five bonus tracks yet. Highlights thus far No Erasin' and No More Cryin'. |

Of what I have heard, "We're Still Here" is..... still here with me. I also think the album needs more balance, but once I watched the 3 videos released.. I knew the album was going to be in this vein.
Definitely great to see him back and enjoying himself. |
Completely unexpected, but "We're Still Here", my personal favorite from this album, is at #14 on the US adult contemporary chart and climbing! His first album in over 20 years and it's actually getting airplay and charting! Here's the new video he released:

Traces (Alternate Versions & Sketches)
A new version of the album Traces (Alternate Versions & Sketches) has just been released;

I've always loved Perry's voice. Great to hear him still sound that good - certainly a hundred times better than a "certain someone" we all know. Feels like his voice has mostly just matured with age, instead of having exactly declined (although the high register doesn't seem to be quite as strong as during his Journey peak era, but that is to be expected in general; the guy is 71 after all, and not everybody is Steven Tyler).
Btw, Walleris - that No Erasin' is actually a decent song for me :D |
