YNGWIE MALMSTEEN will release “Blue Lightning” globally on March 29 via Mascot Records / Mascot Label Group. Today he’s unveiled a new lyric video for the title track, watch it here:
Yngwie Malmsteen on “Blue Lightning”:
“I wrote the title track Blue Lightning specifically for this album. The track is very free, everything on it is improvised. I hope you’ll enjoy it.”
The album is self-produced, and Malmsteen has followed a traditional manner in the way this was recorded. He shares, “In the old days, a band would go into the studio, do a couple of songs, then go out on tour, before returning to the studio to do a couple more new tracks. That’s the way I did things this time. I have been so busy on the road in recent times that it was the most pragmatic way to do the album. In all, it took me about ten months to get it done, but by going in the studio in between touring commitments, I feel it kept everything fresh.”
