Peter Gabriel has shared “Road to Joy,” the sixth single from his upcoming album, i/o.
Co-produced by Brian Eno, the “Bright-Side Mix” of the song mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, “Road to Joy” explores the reawakening of senses.
“I’m working on a project which is partly a story focused around the brain and how we perceive things and this song connects to that,” Gabriel said in a statement. “It deals with near-death experience and locked-in syndrome situations where people are unable to communicate or to move. It’s an amazingly frustrating condition.

Back in 2005, Peter Gabriel told Rolling Stone that he was making steady progress on his new LP i/o after three years of work. “At the moment, I’m trying to write principally about birth and death, with the sex in the middle,” he said, noting that he was producing the album himself. “My mental process is so slow, that it’s not really fair to take that time out of anyone else’s life.”
Eighteen years later, the Chinese Democracy of Peter Gabriel albums is finally on the verge of release.

Chicago – I’m a little biased when it comes to analyzing a documentary about Peter Gabriel. He’s one of the most important musicians of all time, particularly in the way he blended world music and pop in the ’80s, an art form that reached a peak with the timeless “So,” the latest recording analyzed in Eagle Rock’s award-winning “Classic Albums” series of Blu-rays and DVDs. In hindsight, the production is missing a few key players but those who do come to talk about “So” do so with love and insight.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The major contributors to “Classic Albums: Peter Gabriel: So” are journalist David Fricke, producer Daniel Lanois, and, most interestingly, Gabriel himself. The interviews alternate from the kind of in-depth material that will impress musicians themselves, such as the way the drums were mixed, and the anecdotes that will be of interest to anyone (like the fact...
