Ace Frehley is putting the finishing touches on his new solo album
for a tentative early 2023 release. The original KISS guitarist
offered an update on the LP's recording progress while sharing a
list on social media of his "Best 10 Sci-Fi Movies Released Up Until
1960". At the end of the message, he wrote: "My New Studio Record is
nearing its completion! Hopefully it will be out Spring-Summer
2023!!!"
Back in November 2021, Ace said that he had collaborated with his
longtime friend Peppy Castro on "some heavy songs." Peppy reportedly
taught Frehley how to play guitar and previously collaborated with
KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons as a songwriter and performed on
Frehley's and KISS frontman Paul Stanley's solo records.
In December 2020, Frehley told Talking Metal Live that he would
start recording his next all-original album the following year. The
record will be the follow-up to "Spaceman", which was released in
October 2018 via eOne. At the time, he said that had "been writing
all along. Plus, I have tracks that I've already recorded that I
have to revisit and decide whether they have a chance to make it on
my new studio record — [if they] have to be rewritten or [they're]
just good the way they are," he explained. "And I've got people
sending me song ideas constantly… So, little by little, it's an
ongoing process, and it evolves as it goes."
Earlier in 2020, Frehley told Canada's iHeart Radio that he had
"only written about three songs" for his next LP, and he added they
were "not finished." He said: "Now that I'm [living] on the East
Coast [after moving to New Jersey from Southern California], my
engineer only lives an hour from me, Alex Salzman, who worked with
me extensively on this last record, and he played a lot of bass
guitar as well, So it's gonna be even easier, 'Origins Vol. 3' and
the next [original] record." |
