Emerging from the pandemic with a supercharged new studio lineup, “Don’t Give Up On Us” will be followed by an epic 15-track set of new original songs that brings back the grand scale of the group’s greatest moments, along with updated and bold new directions and sounds.

JOURNEY founding member, guitarist, songwriter and producer Neal Schon stated about the track: “It is a very melodic song. It’s soulful, coming more from that R&B place and a little more Motown sounding but it definitely rocks. I feel like it’s got JOURNEY all over it.”

While the forthcoming album was made with visions of arena and stadium stages, it started from humble beginnings. In 2020, as COVID-19 swept the globe, Schon was stuck at home like the rest of us. “During the pandemic, there wasn’t much to do,” he says. “I spent a lot of time in my little studio at home, learning how to play keyboards and looping. Some of those ideas ended up being songs. So, it kind of came out of nowhere.”

As the band’s legend continues to grow larger and their touring gets bigger, “Freedom” will be the first album of new material to be released in eleven years, since 2011’s “Eclipse,” and in addition to longtime keyboard player and primary lyricist Jonathan Cain and vocalist Arnel Pineda, one more member was recruited for the upcoming album – bassist extraordinaire Randy Jackson, who had played on Journey’s 1986 album “Raised on Radio.”
