The Devil Wears Prada guitarist/vocalist Kyle Sipress has revealed that he wasn’t involved in the sessions for the band’s new album “Flowers” (out November 14). According to him, keyboardist Jonathan Gering, vocalist/guitarist Mike Hranica, and guitarist/vocalist Jeremy DePoyster were the main driving forces behind the record.
Sipress initially said the following via Instagram:
“Spent a few days learning some of the new songs from the new Prada record. This one’s called ‘Everybody Knows.’”
This led fans to question why he didn’t know the songs. Upon revealing his lack of involvement, they also lamented his exclusion. Sipress continued:
“I really appreciate that but it just is what it is. While it does make me sad and I wish I was a part of the creative side like I used to be, I do get to play guitar on stage for a living. Hopefully my ability to play live does the job this record calls for.”
He also added:
“It’s pretty complicated but I think at the end of the day they had a vision and direction that was just easier and more conductive with me not being involved. Trying new things out and having less/different cooks in the kitchen.”
He also further discussed the album’s origins:
“‘Flowers‘ was written and recorded by Jon, Jeremy, Mike and some songwriters from LA I believe.”
