John Corabi has released “That Memory,” the latest single from his debut full-length solo album ‘New Day’, due April 24 via Frontiers Music Srl. The track arrives with an official music video and carries a straightforward origin story: Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr sent Corabi a rough idea, producer Marti Frederiksen loved it immediately, they shifted the key to fit Corabi’s voice, and they recorded it. “It’s my wife’s favorite from the record,” Corabi says. “Thank you Charlie Starr.”
‘New Day’ marks Corabi’s first full-length solo album of original material, recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025. Frederiksen, whose production credits include Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, and Buckcherry, helmed the sessions and contributes backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion throughout. The album fuses classic 70s rock, soul, and blues into something that feels organic and deeply personal, built on real performances and melodic interplay rather than studio gloss.
The supporting cast is exceptional. Richard Fortus of Guns N’ Roses handles lead guitar. Paul Taylor, known for his work with Winger and Steve Perry, contributes piano, organ, and clavinet. Evan Frederiksen covers drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming. Starr adds guitar solos. Together they create exactly the kind of instrument-driven, soulful rock record Corabi set out to make.
The album also includes previously released singles “Cosi Bella (So Beautiful)” from 2021 and “Your Own Worst Enemy” from 2022, now woven into a complete collection that showcases Corabi’s commanding vocals and heartfelt songwriting across a full arc. “I wanted to put together an album of eclectic, organic songs reminiscent of the music I grew up listening to,” Corabi says. “This is a 60s-70s sounding classic rock and roll record. Turn it up, and enjoy.”
A European tour ran through February and March 2026, with additional shows continuing through late spring and summer. ‘New Day’ arrives April 24.
