ROXANNE (feat. Jeff Scott Soto, Paul Gilbert & dUg Pinnick) – Stereo Typical (2023)

Not many bands can say they are releasing their third album thirty-five years after their debut, but not many bands have the history that California melodic rockers ROXANNE have. Originally formed in the late ’80s, Roxanne garnered commercial success with their 1988 self-titled debut album which was well received with two songs charting on rock radio: “Cherry Bay” and “Sweet Maria”, as well as a cover of Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music”.
Now 2023 the band is back with its first album of new material in five years and second for Rat Pak Records. “Stereo Typical” features ten brand-new songs from the quartet, also featuring top class guest appearances from Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big, dUg Pinnick of King’s X and Jeff Scott Soto.
From the driving intro of album opener “Stereotypical” to the anthemic outro of “Without A Rope”, Roxanne is back with its signature sound that garnered the guys a legion of fans in the late ’80s and continue to support them today.

Tracks like “Gotta Live”, “The Cost Of Living” and “Until They Do” are chock full of memorable hooks and melodies. Mr. Big guitarist Paul Gilbert adds a blistering solo to the ballad “Looks Like Rain”. King’s X frontman dUg Pinnick offers his vocal talents to the catchy “Only A Call Away” and Jeff Scott Soto shines on the first single “Keep On Keepin’ On”.
