'80s Rocker Announces Update on First Album in Nine Years
Corey Glover, the iconic frontman of the band Living Colour, teased fans with what to expect from the upcoming album.
Earlier this year, the 61-year-old singer revealed that they are working on their seventh studio album, expected to be released spring of this year.
As fans await the highly anticipated project, Glover opened up about the journey and process of making the album.
In his interview with SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, the vocalist admitted that he isn't fully happy with the songs or the progress so far.
"We've written a few things and we've recorded a few things. Personally, I'm not satisfied just yet," he told the hard rock and heavy metal talk show.
Despite the challenge, Glover assured fans that the album is in full swing. However, the band needs to focus and spend more time creating and developing a new record.
As for the release date, no definite schedule has been set yet.
"We need to really go in there and sort of sit down and concentrate on making a record," he said. "And once we do that, I think we'll be good. I don't know when that's gonna be or how that's gonna work, but I can't wait for it to happen."
The unreleased album will be Living Colour's first since their 2017 record Shade.
Drummer Will Calhoun initially shared a glimpse of the album, promising "a lot of interesting ideas" that would help shape its sound and direction without giving up the band's signature vibe.
"Obviously there's a lot of political things going on in the world and certainly in this country. So the sound now for me is a little bit closer to Stain," he shared to Chile's iRock.cl. Referring to the band's third studio album. "But it's still also a bit of a new sound for the band. There's some things that we wanna go back to, some people that we worked with that did a great job when working with the band. But I don't think that honestly we have a sound for the record yet. I think we're in the writing stages. We're trying out sounds, we're seeing what things work and don't work."
Calhoun also hoped that with the release of their new album, they could "bring in new fans and not disappoint the old ones."
Apart from Glover and Calhoun, Living Colour's current lineup includes founder and guitarist Vernon Reid as well as Doug Wimbish on bass guitar and backing vocals.
