Billy Idol has announced the release of Dream Into It, his first album since 2014’s Kings & Queens of the Underground. The new album will arrive via Dark Horse Records on April 25 and features guest appearances from Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett and The Kills and Dead Weather singer Alison Mosshart.
Idol has also released the first track from the album, Still Dancing, which is accompanied by a video from Steven Sebring, director of the Emmy-nominated documentary Patti Smith: Dream Of Life.
“Still Dancing is really a reflection of my whole journey,” says Idol. “From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live. At the start of the song I’m recalling the early times in London, when I was living in squats or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag.
“Everybody at home or work told you what you were doing was never going to happen. But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music as deeply as I did and you were going to throw caution to the wind, believe in what you were doing and grab on for dear life.
“As the song says, there have been many moments along the way where I’ve been self-destructive. But what’s seen me through is that unflinching belief in the music that started all those years ago. That’s been the greatest gift of all.”
Idol’s It’s A Nice Day To… Tour Again! tour kicks off on April 30 at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix, AZ, and reaches the UK and Europe in June. Full details and album tracklist below.
