Steve Perry put out new music...kinda.
The Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer released a new version of Journey's "It Could Have Been You" with the band THE EFFECT! The group features Trev Lukather, who's the son of TOTO's Steve Lukather on guitars, and Nic Collins, son of Phil Collins on drums with former TOTO keyboardist Steve Maggiora.
Perry announced his collab with THE EFFECT in a post,
"In 1986 the JOURNEY 'Raised On Radio' record was released and in it was a song I've always felt was a diamond in the rough. I've known Trevor Lukather since he was 9 years old and he is a very gifted musician. One day we were talking about his new band, THE EFFECT… He surprisingly mentioned 'It Could Have Been You' is one of his favorite tracks from that record, I told him I felt the same. I then said, why don't you record it? He asked if I would sing on it if they did, I said... 'Of course my most precious!' I must say, singing on their powerful track brought out a vocal experience in me from years ago !
Trevor Lukather grew up on Journey and was honored to get a chance at the song,
"Steve and I go way back. Other than my Pop, @steveperrymusic has been a mentor to me. When he heard @theeffectband he called me and expressed how much he really loved what we were doing. It meant the world. On that same call, I started raving about a deep cut #Journey tune 'It Could Have Been You'. The idea came up about THE EFFECT doing our own version of it. I asked Steve if he would sing on it and he was in. Even though we were done with our album, it was just too good of an idea to pass up. Any chance to work with my dear brotha Steve is one I'll happily take.
