Dream Theater Keyboardist Jordan Rudess Signs With InsideOutMusic For Upcoming Solo Album

Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess has signed a new deal with InsideOutMusic. His new solo album will be released through the label later this year.

Rudess commented:

“I knew I was going to have some time off after the last Dream Theater tour ended. Enough time to, hopefully, complete a new solo album. I wanted this album to push me to evolve a new compositional perspective. So, this album is my inaugural voyage into crafting a solo album with a dedicated vocalist in mind.

Joe Payne‘s vocals inspired me from the first time I heard him and drummer, Darby Todd, has infused each track with his distinctive style. I’m also stepping into uncharted instrumental territory, playing guitar on a few tracks. Another first, my daughter, Ariana, has penned all the lyrics for this album.

We’ve worked closely together, ensuring that each lyric weaves a story and allows Joe‘s beautiful voice to soar. Proud Dad here. All around this album is a testament to collaboration and personal growth.”

In other news, Rudess has also partnered with Moises with his song “Embers” available through the app. He said the following about that:
