It wasn't a runaway success for Jovi when he burst on the music scene with "Runaway" in 1983. When asked if the new songs wouldn't be overshadowed by the popular classic numbers, Jovi said: "We wanted to make sure fans got value addition. It has old chart-toppers "Livin' On A Prayer", "Always", "It's My Life", "Wanted Dead or Alive", and "Who Says You Can't Go Home" as well as four new songs - "The More Things Change", "No Apologies", "This Is Love, This Is Life" and "What Do You Got?". The album not only transports listeners back in time, it also offers a bridge to the future with four brand new tracks. With age, most singers lose the quality of their voice, but Jovi is one man whose voice has become more grainy over the years and the new album is a proof of that. Music is the universal language, it doesn't have anything to do with borders or even language barriers," said the singer. I'd be open to hearing it during my next trip, but I haven't had the opportunity till now. "Unfortunately, I haven't had any connections with the Indian music scene. I would like to visit India again soon," he said.Īs part of the band's "These Days Tour - 1995", he had performed in Mumbai in April 1995. "I have great memories of India from my last trip in 1995 and of Indian people. When you record it and if it turns out as well as you had hoped while you were writing it, you want to share it with people," said the singer who is keen to visit India again. "It is the greatest satisfaction of putting it from pen to paper that drives you to keep going because you hope that it is as good as you think it is when you're writing. The satisfaction of seeing a song complete is what drives Jovi even now.
"This album reflects who we are and what we did and that we are back," the 48-year-old singer told IANS in an e-mail interview from his hometown Sayreville, New Jersey. The frontman of the band Bon Jovi, who released two solo albums and 11 studio albums with his band in his 27-year-old career, titled his new album "Bon Jovi Greatest Hits".
