Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello shared news about his upcoming solo single ‘Soldier In The Army Of Love.’
In a new interview with Guitar Interactive Magazine, the guitarist spoke about the overall feel of his new album and said the particular song had the Springsteen soul to it. He explained:
“On the one hand, it’s gonna lean very heavy into like the Morellian riffs of Rage and Audioslave ilk, but there’s also a [Bruce Springsteen’s 1978 album] ‘Darkness On The Edge Of Town’ component to it as well. There likely will be some collaborations, but it’s not collaboration dependent.”
When Is It Coming Out?
In the same interview, he also revealed when fans can expect to hear the album. He replied:
“I have a summer tour that interrupted the recording process. So I really wanted to get this song out, ‘Soldier In The Army Of Love’. We open the set with it every night. It’s been just crushing. And so I wanted to have like a big summer rock jam to play. I think the second single’s gonna be ready probably early fall and then finish the record then, hopefully before the end of the year.”
Morello Loves Creating Solo Music
In a separate interview, Morello shared that working on his upcoming solo album has allowed him to achieve a greater sense of ‘purity’ in his music compared to his work with a band:
“I’ve done a number of solo records before, but I love the idea of being in a band because what you get out of being in a band is chemistry. Together you create something that none of you could create alone.”
He added:
“What you get out of being a solo artist is purity and being able to create something that no one else would be able to create.”
