Myles Kennedy Drops Blistering Solo Single ‘Say What You Will,’ Announces New Album + Tour
Alter Bridge and Slash vocalist Myles Kennedy is on his way back with his third solo album, The Art of Letting Go, while also delivering the new single "Say What You Will," a very entertaining companion video and extending his solo touring to include new North American shows in 2025.
"Say What You Will"
To introduce the new album, Kennedy is back with a blistering track called "Say What You Will" that features the talents of his solo trio that includes Zia Uddin on drums and Tim Tournier on bass.
The hard-hitting and motivational track features an entertaining video from Gordy De St. Jeor centering on a bullied young girl who finds the strength to break out her shell by finding herself in music. With the help of three of her school's staffers played by the band members, they win over everyone at the school talent show. You can watch the clip in full below.

Kennedy has kept a steady pace for his solo efforts, issuing a new album ever three years.

The Art of Letting Go album is due for release Oct. 11 through Napalm Records. Pre-orders in CD, vinyl and digital formats can be found here. The full track listing and album artwork can be seen below.
