What Hughes said about his upcoming solo album
Hughes recently revealed in an interview with Iron City Rocks that he will finally record a new solo album next year. The most recent one is “Resonate” but since that one he released 3 albums with the supergroup The Dead Daises.
“I am an artist that must make new music. I mean, I insist — I hate that word ‘insist’, but every year I find myself with a new paint board of new songs. I’m getting ready next year, by the way — I am gonna do another Glenn album next year, the first one in nine years, ’cause it’s time to do it.”
About his inspiration when writing a song, he said: “I don’t write about politics. I write about the human condition. I write about how are we feeling, what are we going through, are we going to get through this — you know, acceptance, staying in the present moment. This is the big thing for me. People call it woke, awakening, if you will… For me, it’s all about staying present in this moment right now, and I’m writing about that,” Glenn Hughes said.
