Jeff Scott Soto Announces The Release Of His New Album ‘The Duets Collection, Volume 1’
Written by Johnson Stephen on August 6, 2021
Jeff Scott Soto has announced that the release of a new solo album, ‘The Duets Collection, Volume 1’ will be 8th October 2021 via Frontiers Records.
It’s a retrospective with a twist as it contains re-recordings of favourite songs from his career to date, but with the added bonus of presenting them as duets with fellow vocalists, who are also personal friends namely Eric Martin, Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse, W.E.T.), Johnny Gioeli (Hardline), Deen Castronovo (Revolution Saints, Journey), Nathan James (Inglorious), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Renan Zonta (Electric Mob), Dino Jelusick, Mats Leven (Candlemass, TSO), BJ (Spektra, SOTO) and Alirio Netto (Shaman, Queen Extravaganza).
Boasting this line-up along with a track listing that will surely make all of Soto’s fans excited, the singer himself simply states that “It was a DREAM to cast these voices and I am so amped for you to hear the results.”
