BMG are proud to announce the worldwide release of the second album by Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, entitled Black Light/White Noise on March 7. The news comes alongside the release of the album’s first single, White Noise.
Recorded at The House, Los Angeles, California, produced by Richie and Adrian and mixed by Jay Ruston, the ten track album is a masterclass in modern rock, with Adrian and Richie’s prodigious talents as songwriters, musicians and vocalists on full display.
Lead single White Noise perfectly illustrates the quality and strength of the album, boasting a gloriously heavy riff, soaring vocals, driving rhythms and a hook-filled chorus. Adrian Smith comments: “The song is about the rise of social media, how people get addicted to it, the power of it and how we get bombarded with it 24/7.”
“It was actually a riff Adrian brought in,” adds Richie Kotzen, “I then immediately started improvising the melody and the lyric that became the chorus. It had another working title, completely different to what it ended up being and we kind of came up on the spot with that call and answer in the chorus that turned into ‘White Noise’.”
