Journey guitarist Neal Schon will release his new solo album in June.
'Vortex' is due June 22 via Mascot Label Group's Music Theories Recordings. Discussing the record, he said:
"This is an evolutionary album for me. I’ve always aspired to be a better player and push musical boundaries. And sure, I’ve sold 80-million records with Journey, and I’m proud of that, but this album is really me — all based on my guitar, which is my ‘voice.’ It’s bold. There’s love, and there’s definitely fire and an element of danger. And the energy level is off the hook.”
'Vortex' was recorded at Berkeley’s Fantasy Studios, where Journey recorded their 1981 album 'Escape'. About the studio, he said:
"It’s my home away from home. I spend so much time there that they’ve given me my own locker.”
