JOURNEY'S STEVE PERRY RELEASES SINGLE 'WE'RE STILL HERE' FROM THE NEW ALBUM 'TRACES'

It has been 24 years since Steve Perry, lead singer of rock band Journey and songwriter behind their universal, 1981 hit single “Don’t Stop Believin’” has released a solo album, so of course, his fans must have been jumping for joy when it was announced that the multi-talented rocker and hit maker was making a comeback. After hearing the new single “We’re Still Here,” ROUGH ONLINE  have been reminded as to why Journey became such a successful music act worldwide. Concluded by us as one of the “best comebacks of 2018,” Perry’s new track from the get-go delves into classic, Pop Rock territory beautifully, in which the production could be easily compared to John Shanks’ stunning work, specifically on Take That’s 2007 UK hit single “Rule The World,” via reverb and chorus-effected, effortlessly performed lead guitars, overall delivering the most enchanting vibe possible.

Just when we thought “We’re Still Here” couldn’t get any more captivating, the middle 8 section delves in Gospel-influenced music, just before the final chorus drops for one more round of heartfelt lyrics like “we’re still here, where love is running, the night is calling again.” Overall, it is a beautiful piece of music, which you could easily hear other brilliant Rock acts such as Jon Bon Jovi, Guns & Roses or Bruce Springsteen covering because of the similarity in sound, whilst it also throws you back to Rock ballads like The Calling’s 2001 single “Wherever You Will Go.” “We’re Still Here” has hit written all over it, and trust us...Perry’s voice, a cross between and angel and a rock god...soars. Steve Perry’s new album “Traces” is out now...go and get your copy.
