(Freeman) John Corabi has released his long-awaited solo debut, 'New Day,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the release, John also shares his new single "1969," alongside an official music video.

On the new track "1969," John comments, "'1969' is a great song inspired by the current situations in America, which made me think of another turbulent time in the 60's-70's...The riff throughout is compliments of Stevie D (from Buckcherry) and inspired by one of my favorite bands Creedence Clearwater Revival."

'New Day' marks John 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 record features the previously released singles "Così Bella (So Beautiful)" (2021) and "Your Own Worst Enemy" (2022), now presented as part of a rich collection of tracks that spotlight his commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the album, Corabi is joined by Marti Frederiksen, who adds backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen on 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, as well as Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) offering guitar solos. Together, they create an organic, instrument-driven sound built on real performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.

More than just a solo debut, 'New Day' serves as Corabi's personal testament to rock's enduring spirit-an exploration of melody, soul, and authenticity, played with passion and conviction at every turn.

John shares: "I'm very excited for everybody to hear this new collection of songs! I wanted to put together an album of eclectic, organic songs that are reminiscent of the music I grew up listening to, and I truly believe the mission was accomplished! This is a 60's-70's sounding classic rock and roll record...Turn it up, and enjoy!!!"
