Dream Into It will be available this spring
Punk rock legend Billy Idol is set for the release of his first full-length album of new music in over a decade. Dream Into It will be available on April 25th via Dark Horse Records/BMG, featuring appearances by Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills.
In anticipation of the forthcoming record, Idol debuts the new single “Still Dancing.”
“‘Still Dancing’ is really a reflection of my whole journey. 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,” Idol explains. “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.”
Alongside the upcoming album, Idol was recently nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025. Fan voting is open through April 21st, with inductees to be announced at the end of April.
Idol kicks off his It’s A Nice Day To… Tour Again on April 30th in Phoenix. The five-month trek runs through September 25th in Los Angeles. All dates with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.
