"I wanted kind of a punky rendition of 'Any Way You Want It',” says guitarist Neal Schon. “I usually don't go in saying I'm going to look for something like that, but then it just came to me, like ‘Wheel in the Sky’ did years ago. It just kind of flew out of my mouth."
The song follows last summer’s arrival of the set’s lead single, “The Way We Used To Be”, as the second preview to the 2022 record.
Due July 8, “Freedom” marks the follow-up to the California band’s 2011 album, “Eclipse.”
Journey are currently playing dates on a spring US tour, which began in late February.
Journey were named the No. 5 Rock News Artist Of The Year as part of the 2021 hennemusic Rock News Awards.
