Journey’s current lead singer, Arnel Pineda, will help fans get into the holiday spirit this year by releasing a solo EP on December 18 titledSounds of Christmas.
In advance of the disc, a single called “This Christmas” will go on sale one week earlier, on December 11.
“This Christmas” is a soaring, heartfelt ballad that features a chorus that goes, “Let me be your Santa/ Let me be your gift/ Let me be your hero/ Let me be your freedom/ Ooh, this Christmas.” The tune was released to radio this past week.
Meanwhile, the Philippines-born Pineda, who joined Journey in 2007, also is working on his first full-length solo album. The record is expected to arrive in the spring of 2016.
As previously reported, Journey will launch an expansive North American co-headlining tour with The Doobies Brothers in May, with ex-Traffic singer/guitarist Dave Mason also on board as the opening act.
