Sons Of Apollo have released a surprise six-track EP.
It’s out now through digital services and features three versions of their new single Alive, plus three versions of the song in Spanish, titled Tengo Vida.
Explaining the decision to record the track in two languages, vocalist Jeff Scott Soto says: “It was discussed we should do a Spanish language version of Alive before our first tour in South America and I was excited to make it work.
“I brought in my close friend Alex to help with the translation as well as coach me on my enunciation.
"I am not fluent in Spanish so it was a difficult process, but it sounds pretty damn cool now that we made it work. I think my favourite part is hearing Bumblefoot singing in Spanish!”
Guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal adds: “I love stripping down a song to its simplest form, showing the core of what the song is.
“The acoustic version of Alive has that naked vulnerability, and shows what a great lyricist and melody-maker Jeff is.”
