Today, the superstar musician and producer \u2013 a multi-GRAMMY\u00ae-winning hit maker whose No. 1 chart successes include Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin and many others \u2013 releases his triumphant new solo album,&nbsp;<strong><em>Still Yours For the Summer<\/em><\/strong>, an irresistible 14-song soundtrack to hot days and sizzling nights that one can revel in any time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stream \/ Share \/ Purchase\u00a0<em>Still Yours For the Summer<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src = \"https:\/\/lnk.to\/wmZ3sm\" height = \"600px\" width = \"100%\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything I do has heat, but this time I focused that feeling in very specific ways,\u201d Walden says. \u201cI wanted people to feel a warm vibe from the beginning to the end. It recalls the time I had the hit \u2018Freeway of Love\u2019 with the great Aretha Franklin \u2013 that was played on radios throughout the summer. You\u2019d go on the beach and hear it. I\u2019m taking you back to that spirit with this album.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Still Yours For the Summer<\/em>&nbsp;is Walden\u2019s most ambitious and diverse album yet \u2013 the songs seamlessly blend disco, R&amp;B, reggae, Afrobeat, Latin rhythms, jazz, rock and more. \u201cI\u2019m letting God\u2019s cosmic energy come through me. I\u2019m not blocking anything out,\u201d Walden says. \u201cI traveled through the universe and landed here to make music with my beautiful band. When you listen to this album, you can go on the same adventure!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride blasts off with \u201c<strong>I Love My People Now<\/strong>,\u201d a red-hot metal\/hip-hop anthem guaranteed to get pulses racing. \u201cI was inspired by seeing Kendrick Lamar rocking a crowd in Germany,\u201d Walden says. \u201cI took that hardcore energy and brought it to the studio.\u201d Responding to Walden\u2019s own supercharged vocals is a rousing choir comprised of&nbsp;<strong>Cornell \u201cCC\u201d Carter, Katie Walden, Kristie Isaacson, Edie Walden<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Alex Walden-Kaufman<\/strong>, along with&nbsp;<strong>Gerry, Della June<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Kayla Bundle<\/strong>. The tune percolates with&nbsp;<strong>Ralphe Armstrong<\/strong>\u2019s stunning bass playing, and that virtuoso guitar shred comes courtesy of&nbsp;<strong>Vernon \u201cIce\u201d Black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video for &#8220;I Love My People Now&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"I Love My People Now (feat.

Powered by crackling, funky <a href=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/blogs\/music-blog\/learning-guitar-essential-tips-for-beginners-to-play-with-confidence\/\">guitar rhythms<\/a> of ace six-stringer\u00a0<strong>Cam Perridge<\/strong>\u00a0and the rock-steady bass work by\u00a0<strong>Angeline Saris<\/strong>, it\u2019s a euphoric dance blitz that won\u2019t be denied. Walden calls the track \u201chappiness all the way that\u2019s ready-made for the NBA courts.\u201d For the past few years, he\u2019s mentored a promising young singer named<strong>\u00a0Ivan<\/strong>, and on \u201cJump Up,\u201d the 11-year-old star turns in a doozy of a rap. \u201cIvan\u2019s got the goods like few other talents I\u2019ve known,\u201d Walden says. \u201cThe whole world will know him soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sweeping title track begins as an aching ballad, with Walden\u2019s poignant vocals floating overtop&nbsp;<strong>Justus Dobrin<\/strong>\u2019s elegant piano accompaniment. Then the sky opens and the song crackles with fiery soloing by superstar guitarist (and Walden\u2019s onetime Journey bandmate)&nbsp;<strong>Neal Schon<\/strong>. \u201cWhat can I say about Neal?\u201d Walden says. \u201cThere\u2019s never a minute where he doesn\u2019t play his butt off. He and I have this connection \u2013 I\u2019ll sing him a melody and he\u2019ll let his guitar cry back to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buzz on&nbsp;<em>Still Yours For the Summer<\/em>&nbsp;began with its first single, an effervescent reimagining of Sly Stone\u2019s \u201c<strong>Hot Fun in the Summertime<\/strong>,\u201d which Walden dedicated to the legendary music genius who passed away this year. Whereas the original 1969 hit conjured laid-back summer bliss, Walden\u2019s idea of vacation jubilation is built around a driving disco beat and shimmering, vibrant strings that evokes \u201870s dance floor nostalgia while simultaneously sounding every bit in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walden\u2019s next single was a complete change of pace \u2013 the ultra-funky R&amp;B winner \u201c<strong>Bougie Cherry Bomb<\/strong>.\u201d Explaining the inspiration for song\u2019s title, Walden credits his wife and co-writer,&nbsp;<strong>Katie<\/strong>. \u201cShe was inspired by our son, Michael, who saw a picture of a cherry bomb,\u201d he says. \u201cKatie jumped on that and added \u2018bougie,\u2019 which she thought made it a cool thing \u2013 it meant high class.\u201d Walden describes the song as \u201chaving a bit of a Bruno Mars vibe, the way he can pay homage to an earlier time of funk, but he\u2019s still right now. I do the same thing \u2013 I love mixing the two worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He brought his own worlds together \u2013 and turns in a bravura vocal performance \u2013 on \u201c<strong>I Shoulda Loved Ya 2025<\/strong>,\u201d a state-of-the-art pop-funk remake of Walden\u2019s disco hit from his 1979 album,\u00a0<em>The Dance of Life<\/em>. Angeline Saris\u2019 arresting basslines and Walden\u2019s stylish drumming form the basis of an irrepressible dance jam. The track also features\u00a0<strong>Jackson Allen<\/strong>\u00a0on guitar and Justus Dobrin on keys and programming. Renowned Italian hitmaker\u00a0<strong>Lino Nicolosi<\/strong>, a frequent collaborator with Walden, remixed the track and added guitar and percussion, while his brother and production partner Pino added piano and Hammond B3 organ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On two cuts \u2013 the soaring instrumental \u201cMahavishnu\u201d (featuring incandescent guitar work by&nbsp;<strong>Vernon \u201cIce\u201d Black<\/strong>) and the spoken-word \u201c<strong>I Dreamt of Mahavishnu<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 Walden honors his mentor, guitarist John McLaughlin, who hired him to play drums for the jazz-fusion supergroup Mahavishnu Orchestra in the early \u201870s. \u201cI can\u2019t wait for him to hear these tracks,\u201d Walden says. \u201cWithout John McLaughlin, I don\u2019t know where I would be right now. Sometimes you just need that one person to change everything for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The record concludes with the Latin-flavored banger \u201c<strong>God\u2019s Love is Gonna Take Us There<\/strong>,\u201d which Walden says came about \u201cbecause God said, \u2018You need to write something about the Lord.\u2019 Go out and inspire people with energy.\u2019 So I did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Production of&nbsp;<em>Still Yours For the Summer&nbsp;<\/em>took place at Walden\u2019s San Rafael-based&nbsp;<strong>Tarpan Studios&nbsp;<\/strong>as well as&nbsp;<strong>Nicolosi Studio<\/strong>&nbsp;in Milan, Italy. Walden, who sang lead vocals, played drums and keyboards, cites the special contributions of Associate Producer&nbsp;<strong>\u201cLieutenant\u201d Cornell CC Carter&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 \u201cmy right hand in choosing the material\u201d \u2013 along with engineer and mixer&nbsp;<strong>Jim \u201cJim Jam\u201d Reitzel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to let this album out into the world,\u201d Walden says. \u201cPeople need to feel something positive \u2013 with electricity and God\u2019s love. You can party to this record, and you can mellow out to it. It takes you on a trip through the solar system and back again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full tracklisting for\u00a0<em>Still Yours For the Summer<\/em>\u00a0is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cI Love My People Now\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cHot Fun in the Summertime\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cDance Till Sunrise\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cKeep Shining\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cStill Yours For the Summer\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBougie Cherry Bomb\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cJump Up\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cMahavishnu\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cAloha Aloha\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cLast Night I Dreamed of Mahavishnu\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI Shoulda Loved Ya 2025\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cCowboy Disco\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cCool Bounce\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cGod\u2019s Love is Gonna Take Us There\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Stream \/ Share \/ Purchase\u00a0Still Yours For the Summer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0010Pg7GpDL6ueVkPoZX_OGO4AfWOGBv_A49Cw813pEJHtZAVqcQ8Xi3jx0UFeOGUJj8-1K8wLRPrI-65bm7GomPbjlqVhd0aaI2QP2z-uj3lFNuA7e-sSqAytxseY2LDy3L5gGY20ydtZv4wzWb9AysBYf4IUHp7-W&amp;c=-j2swYRwPXZt2Ll6Pk86sUcmPWqE-INaxZIL5LOMYYFc_Uy-tXRDsg==&amp;ch=nDokVbzrLzKaG1UmZg7240yh4y24KJOukrEk64eGjE4ikEndqPx5Xw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, Sept. 13, Walden will honor one of his biggest musical heroes, Sly Stone, when he takes part in<a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0010Pg7GpDL6ueVkPoZX_OGO4AfWOGBv_A49Cw813pEJHtZAVqcQ8Xi3uKrMdQP7OGQBoF8zqXXnhGWmv0rt-udEcGR4QsgpdvXEEkaLw-_-_QL0qkh8wVdKpAqkOJIDYyt4Ad5Gh7VhD8L-cR9mhpgbQTJ0iZBuhFK&amp;c=-j2swYRwPXZt2Ll6Pk86sUcmPWqE-INaxZIL5LOMYYFc_Uy-tXRDsg==&amp;ch=nDokVbzrLzKaG1UmZg7240yh4y24KJOukrEk64eGjE4ikEndqPx5Xw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0010Pg7GpDL6ueVkPoZX_OGO4AfWOGBv_A49Cw813pEJHtZAVqcQ8Xi3uKrMdQP7OGQBoF8zqXXnhGWmv0rt-udEcGR4QsgpdvXEEkaLw-_-_QL0qkh8wVdKpAqkOJIDYyt4Ad5Gh7VhD8L-cR9mhpgbRcR8jKqUCtH&amp;c=-j2swYRwPXZt2Ll6Pk86sUcmPWqE-INaxZIL5LOMYYFc_Uy-tXRDsg==&amp;ch=nDokVbzrLzKaG1UmZg7240yh4y24KJOukrEk64eGjE4ikEndqPx5Xw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">STAND!<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0A Celebration of Sly and the Family Stone.
