Yungblud and Aerosmith have shared their first collaborative single ‘My Only Angel’, taken from their forthcoming EP, ‘One More Time’.
With the EP set for release on November 21, the track showcases two generations of rock, underscored by a rumbling bass line, strains of soft piano, and a mighty guitar solo courtesy of Joe Perry.
“The decision to meet Yungblud and make this music with him was like plugging into pure electricity! For Joe and me it was another cosmic collision, to find ourselves in the studio with this outrageously talented and positively wild animal named Dom. Here’s this kid that lives his life out loud, grew up on our records and the British invasion, and now we’re in the studio together creating something that bridges generations. He devoured all the same greats we looked up to, and then he started to dream on. It’s as simple as that.
“When we sang and played together for the first time there was an immediate unspoken vibration throughout the studio. It reminded me of the wheels of the car vibrating my seat as the boys and I drove into Boston 50 years ago for the very first time. It had that same deep intimate pressure of necessity. To make it, make it great, something fresh and new… and make it last forever. Thats the rock n roll way baby! Yungblud wants this next chapter in rock history and asked us to be a part of it. We got on so well, the vibe in the room was epic from the start, we had a blast and were truly honoured to write with him! Rock and roll becomes timeless when you pour your heart and soul into it… that’s when the magic happens.”
The official visualiser for the track is set to arrive today (September 19) at 4pm GMT
Recorded with producer Matt Schwartz, the project is Aerosmith’s first new music in over 12 years. Plus, Yungblud has helped the band rework classic single ‘Back In The Saddle’ for a 2025 mix.
