Description
"After two solo albums and sold-out headline tours, MYLES KENNEDY (Alter Bridge, Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators) will release his new album The Art of Letting Go on October 11, 2024 via Napalm Records. On his third stroke of genius as a solo artist, Kennedy, who is rightly dubbed "one of the best singers in rock" by KERRANG! UK, once again proves his outstanding musical sensitivity, guided entirely by his intuition. The Art of Letting Go is the follow-up to the globally acclaimed The Ides of March (2021), which achieved four #1 placements (US Top Current Hard Music Charts, UK Official Rock & Metal Charts as well as Official Independent Album Charts and Canada's Hard Music Albums Charts). The album received critical acclaim and millions of streams. RIFF Magazine described it as "a fantastic record that is a must-listen"", while Classic Rock Magazine convinced is: "The Ides of March confirms Myles Kennedy as a musical powerhouse."
In 2023, Kennedy returned to Studio Barbarosa in Florida to record with producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, with whom he has been working for several years. Together with his bandmates Zia Uddin (drums) and Tim Tournier (bass), he approached the recordings with a clear and coherent vision: While his previous releases contained more acoustic and traditional elements, Kennedy & Co. deliver a record with The Art of Letting Go that has a more riff-heavy, guitar-focused sound.
MYLES KENNEDY introduces the album with the grooving lead single "Say What You Will". In "Nothing More To Gain", drums beat on a hurricane of fast-paced riffs and the bridge asks the emphatic question: "When will you learn?". The bluesy "Saving Face" with its driving beat and sing-along chorus is accompanied by captivating, high harmonies. "Miss You When You're Gone" captivates with striking guitar work that conveys a carefree lightness, while lyrically the piece is surrounded by an "everything is fleeting" aura. The final "How The Story Ends" conjures up a final soulful solo and a cathartic chorus inspired by the personal importance of actively standing up for one's own interests and needs. With The Art of Letting Go, MYLES KENNEDY empowers his fans, shows that there is always a way out, and conveys a sense of unity. Kennedy himself says: "I realized that you don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Do your best; be aware of your talents and use them." MYLES KENNEDY has done just that. The Art of Letting Go is proof once again."
