| JOHN ELEFANTE RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM:7
Available May 7th, On My Way to the Sun reunites Elefante with former Kansas bandmates
John Elefante is back with a new solo album, titled On My Way to the Sun. Produced by Elefante, the 10-track album is due May 7th from Kingheir Music, Elevate Entertainment and Syntax Distribution.
The 4X GRAMMY Award winner and 5x Dove Award winner is best known for
his time as the lead vocalist for the multi-platinum rock outfit Kansas. And fans will be delighted to find that the opening track, This Is How The Story Goes, reunites Elefante with former Kansas bandmates Rich Williams and David Ragsdale.
�Lyrically, I have more inside me that I need to say, more I need to express and convey than ever before,� says Elefante of what just may be the most personal project of his career. One of the album's highlights is the song, This Time,
which tells the story of a young teen's divine encounter at an abortion
clinic that ultimately leads her to save her baby. The somewhat
autobiographical song touches close to home for Elefante, whose adopted
daughter was rescued from abortion.
�This is one the easiest songs I have ever written,� says Elefante. �I
was able to put myself in the place and time where my daughter was so
close to being aborted. It was so divinely vivid to me because this
story was meant to be told. I don't know all of the fine details but I
do know that on that day God said, 'No! You're not taking this one �
This Time.'�
A music video is planned for the song and a major media push is under
way, with early previewers calling this project the best of Elefante'e
career. In advance of the album's release, Elefante is doing a series of
media interviews, including an hour-long interview on April 26th on the
top-rated talk radio show, Jay Sekulow Live, which airs on more than 800 stations nationwide as well as Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.
In addition to Kansas and his solo work, Elefante's extensive resume
includes writing and performance contributions on more than 100 albums
that shaped popular American music. In 1993, Elefante and his brother
Dino founded The Sound Kitchen in Franklin, Tennessee, which quickly
became the largest recording studio in the southeast and an instant draw
for such top acts as Bruce Springsteen, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Natalie
Grant, Amy Grant, Keith Urban, Third Day, Jewel, Jimmy Buffett, Carrie
Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley and many more.
