Billy Idol released “Still Dancing”, the first single of his upcoming album “Dream Into It”. The musician also talked about the new track saying: “‘Still Dancing’ is really a reflection of my whole journey. From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live. At the start of the song I’m recalling the early times in London, when I was living in squats or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag.”
“Everybody at home or work told you what you were doing was never going to happen. But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music as deeply as I did and you were going to throw caution to the wind, believe in what you were doing and grab on for dear life.”
“As the song says, there have been many moments along the way where I’ve been self destructive. But what’s seen me through is that unflinching belief in the music that started all those years ago. That’s been the greatest gift of all,” Billy Idol said.
The track was recorded with Idol’s longtime collaborator, the guitarist Steve Stevens. His band is also formed nowadays by Stephen McGrath (Guitar, keyboards), Billy Morrison (Guitar), Erik Eldenius (Drums) and Paul Trudeau (Keyboards). He will have some special guests on this album like Joan Jett and Avril Lavigne.
