Former JOURNEY Singer STEVE PERRY Releases Music Video 'No Erasin''

15 August 2018

The official music video for 'No Erasin'', the first single from former JOURNEY singer Steve Perry's forthcoming solo album, 'Traces', can be seen below. The disc will be released on October 5 via Fantasy Records (a division of Concord Records/UMG)

'Traces' marks Perry's first solo album since 1994's 'For The Love Of Strange Medicine', which was certified gold in the U.S. for sales in excess of half a million copies.

In a message posted on his official web site and social media accounts, Perry said: "Years ago, I disappeared. There were many reasons, but mainly my love for music had suddenly left me. I knew that simply stopping was what I had to do if music was ever to return to my heart. Then and only then I would figure out what to do. If not… so be it. For I had already lived the dream of dreams.

"Many years passed. One day I began sketching some musical ideas with the creative freedom that I was the only one who would ever hear them. One song led to many. My love for music had returned. Then another beautiful thing happened. I found love.

"My precious Kellie gave me a life I never knew I had. I lost her December of 2012. I now deeply understand the meaning of: 'It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.'

"May of 2015, I began recording.

"These songs are special to me. I respectfully ask that you please listen to them, and whatever they make you feel, I thank you for listening."

Perry's final full concert with JOURNEY took place in early 1987. He later rejoined his bandmates for a brief performance in 1991 to honor late concert promoter Bill Graham. He also appeared with JOURNEY when they received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2005.

The singer was inducted, alongside his old band, at the 2017 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony in Brooklyn, New York.
