Billed as “Traces (Alternative Versions and Sketches)”, the project sees the former Journey singer remove much of the production elements from the original to showcase the material in its barest form.
“When writing songs, the original inspiration is always my 1st compass where the songs should go,” explains Perry. “Alternate Versions & Sketches is exactly that. I’m excited for you to hear the original seeds of these songs.”
His first album in 25 years, “Traces” marked Perry’s return to the music industry after decades away from the scene; recorded at his home studio, the project debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 to deliver his first solo US top 10 album on the chart.
