Bruce Dickinson’s first taste of new music will be released very soon…

Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has revealed that the first single from his upcoming solo album is expected to arrive within the next two weeks, accompanied by a new music video.

Speaking to Chile’s Radio Futuro on November 1, the singer offered a fresh update on his eighth solo studio album, which is scheduled for release in early 2027 through BMG. He was asked to offer a new perspective about his earlier comment about his records being made without A.I.

A.I. is happening. There’s nothing you can do about it. But I just don’t think that it occupies a place in the world of creativity, ’cause A.I. is not creative. All it does is copy. And now it listens to your WhatsApp, it listens to your e-mails, it listens to everything you text, and suddenly you think it’s being creative. No — you’re being creative. A.I. is just stealing your creativity and chucking it back at you with no soul.

So, when we made [my new solo] record — there’s no samples on it, which samples are not A.I., but, well, these days they probably are. But there’s none. We worked for three weeks, every day, 12 hours a day, and we put down — well, a total of 18 songs. And some are left over, ’cause we couldn’t get them all on the album; otherwise it would be a double album. So it’s fantastic, and it sounds great.

What can we expect from it, then?

People will hear it — the first single is out in, like, 10 days or something. We’ll drop the video, and the videos are extraordinary. If you thought that you’re gonna have problems with the Catholic church, they might have a problem with this video, because it’s… But anyway, never mind. We’ll see. But the video’s about truth. Telling the truth — simple as that. Speaking in tongues. Everybody’s talking, but nobody’s listening. Everybody’s talking, but nobody’s telling the truth. Everybody from bloggers, social media influencers, politicians. Will somebody please be able to tell the truth? And then people will listen.
