John Corabi, former MÖTLEY CRÜE vocalist and current frontman of THE DEAD DAISIES, is set to release his debut full-length solo album, New Day, on April 24, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl. To give fans an early taste of the record, Corabi has shared the album’s title track, accompanied by an official music video, available below.
A trip down memory lane with a nostalgic mood, the lead single “New Day” moves from intimate acoustic moments to richly layered rock arrangements. It’s a journey through the heart of rock, infused with soul and blues sensibilities and inspired by the melodic grandeur of early BOSTON and QUEEN.
John comments: “‘New Day’ is a positive, upbeat song with a message of enjoy life!!! Stop whining and complaining about how unfair life is, and enjoy the ‘little beautiful things, life offers’ and make the changes you need to make your life better!!! Change happens WITHIN…”
New Day marks Corabi‘s first full-length solo album of original material. Recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by multi-platinum songwriter and producer Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, Ozzy Osbourne, BUCKCHERRY),the album fuses classic ’70s rock, soul, and blues influences into a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
The album includes the previously released singles “Così Bella (So Beautiful)” (2021) and “Your Own Worst Enemy” (2022), now woven into a rich collection of songs that highlight Corabi’s commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the record, he is joined by Marti Frederiksen on backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen handling drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming; Richard Fortus (GUNS N’ ROSES) on lead guitar; Paul Taylor (WINGER, Steve Perry) contributing piano, organ, and clavinet; and Charlie Starr (BLACKBERRY SMOKE) delivering standout guitar solos. Together, they craft an organic, instrument-driven sound grounded in live performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.
With a European tour set for February and March 2026, followed by additional shows through late spring and summer, Corabi is ready to bring this new music straight to fans, delivering both electrifying live performances and genuine emotional depth.
