http://www.melodicrock.com/Out of the Steve Perry conversation comes news that the reclusive singer has begun work on writing new material for as yet undisclosed project.
Perry states:
"I started writing music again, at the beginning of last summer. I had not opened that up in over ten years. I was reluctant to try to write some more, but now I've been doing that, and it's been a real experience. I got ProTools, and I'm working on stuff. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet, but I got a lot of material, and a lot of it I really like. I'm in the boil-down process. I got these ProTools sketches of songs, and I guess it's time to record some of 'em. I guess I have a desire to sing and write music again, and I'm letting it take me places. It's been painful. Sometimes, when I hear myself sing, I sound like Steve Perry, and sometimes that has a lot of memories attached to it. I'm serious. I just told somebody that, a couple weeks ago, a writer that I'm working with my own voice is sometimes difficult to hear. Because it reminds me of so much. But I'm embracing it. And I've played some of the stuff for friends, and for some people that aren't afraid to tell me the truth. And they've really liked it. It sounds like me, they've said. And that's great. It's been a love-hate thing. All creative processes are a love-hate thing. Anything worth anything has got to be that way. Right?"
