Back on September 19, fans got to listen to a new Aerosmith song on wireless earbuds for the first time ever. After 13 long years, the legendary band is back with their first new piece of material since 2012. The single “My Only Angel” – a collaboration with Yungblud – is out now. The song gave Aerosmith and Yungblud a chart-topping hit, debuting at N0. 1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Songs chart. It is part of the band’s forthcoming EP with Yungblud, One More Time, which arrives on November 21.

While only singer Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry have appeared in the promo material for the upcoming release, a spokesperson for Aerosmith has confirmed that all members – including guitarist Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton, and drummer Joey Kramer – are involved with the project. With Kramer still being retired from performing, Aerosmith tapped longtime friend Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver, ex-Guns N’ Roses, ex-The Cult) to play drums on the EP.

“The decision to meet Yungblud and make this music with him was like plugging into pure electricity,” says Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. “For Joe [Perry] and me it was another cosmic collision… to find ourselves in the studio with this outrageously talented and positively wild animal named Dom. Here’s this kid that lives his life out loud…grew up on our records and the British invasion…and now we’re in the studio together creating something that bridges generations. He devoured all the same greats looked up to…and then he started to dream on. It’s as simple as that.” Tyler declares.  “When we sang and played together for the first time there was an immediate unspoken vibration throughout the studio… it reminded me of the wheels of the car vibrating my seat as the boys and I drove into Boston 50 years ago for the very first time. It had that same deep intimate pressure of necessity. To make it…make it great…something fresh and new…and make it last forever. That’s the rock n roll way baby!  Yungblud wants this next chapter in rock history and asked us to be a part of it. We got on so well… the vibe in the room was epic from the start…we had a blast…and were truly honored to write with him! Rock and roll becomes timeless when you pour your heart and soul into it…that’s when the magic happens.”

Of the collaboration, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry says, “A year ago, I got a call that Yungblud wanted to come to Sarasota to work with me and write some songs. I had heard his single and said, hell yeah, this guy’s got the juice. Four days in the studio and we got to know each other along with his team. I called Steven and told him, you have to hear this guy Yungblud — he’s the real deal. Fast forward to May and we’re in the studio with Steven recording new music. The end result turned out to be an amazing collaboration between Aerosmith and Yungblud. Let the music do the talking.”

Yungblud shares, “Aerosmith have been such a staple of rock and roll and showmanship for me, so I’ve been ready for this my whole life. As soon as we entered the studio, the chemistry exploded and the songs just poured out of us. It’s the kind of collaboration that young me wouldn’t even dream of so to sit here holding a vinyl in my hand that says Aerosmith and Yungblud on it is truly blowing my mind. Steven and Joe are at the top of their game and working with them is a huge fucking honor. I’m making records with my hero’s, the shows insane every night and rock ‘n’ roll is waking the fuck up whether you like it or not. I’m loving every second.”

At the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Nuno Bettencourt, and Yungblud joined forces to pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne. The supergroup stormed the stage at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York – the very venue where Aerosmith played their final show before having to cancel the remainder of their Peace Out World Tour. Yungblud and Nuno Bettencourt kicked things off with Ozzy’s signature song “Crazy Train,” followed by “Changes” which Yungblud crushed in July at Back to the Beginning – Black Sabbath and Ozzy’s final show. Also joining them was Black Sabbath and Ozzy keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

After the performance, both Aerosmith and Yungblud shared a brief clip of Steven Tyler and Yungblud embracing, with Steven saying cheekily, “We got a secret!”

Now, the “secret” has been revealed. “My Only Angel” is currently available for streaming. But, that’s not all – both acts have confirmed that a full, five-song EP is on the way called One More Time. Along with the lead single “My Only Angel,” the EP will feature three more brand new songs, plus a new version of the Aerosmith classic “Back in the Saddle.” It comes out on November 21 through Capitol Records.

The forthcoming record will be available on several vinyl and CD variants.

This is Aerosmith’s first new piece of material in 13 years. The group’s last album Music from Another Dimension! came out back in November of 2012. Featuring the hit single “Legendary Child” plus fan favorites like “Luv XXX,” “Out Go the Lights,” and “Street Jesus,” the album hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 1 on both Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums charts. Yungblud’s new album IDOLS arrived back in June. The record boasts the 9-minute epic “Hello Heaven, Hello,” “Lovesick Lullaby,” and “Zombie” which charted on both the UK Singles Chart and Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Singles.

Yungblud recently wrapped a U.S. tour in support of his new album IDOLS which arrived on June 20 via Locomotion/Capitol Records. It is the first installment of a double album. The record boasts the 9-minute epic “Hello Heaven, Hello,” “Lovesick Lullaby,” and “Zombie” which charted on both the UK Singles Chart and Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Singles. The alt-rock sensation, whose last two albums went to number one in the UK and broke into the Billboard top 100, has a back catalog that has accumulated an astonishing 6 billion streams globally.

The new 13-track IDOLS is Yungblud’s most ambitious yet. Making sure of no distractions, he headed to a location just outside of where he grew up in the north of England with producer Matt Schwartz at the helm, Bob Bradley on additional production, and guitarist Adam Warrington. On IDOLS, Yungblud explores the theme of hero-worship; how we look to others for validation, often putting others’ lives on a pedestal at the expense of the richness of our own experiences. Yungblud says, “We turn to others for an identity before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and change. As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to rationalize everything; our cage walls build up.” He added, “We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we’ve even had our breakfast.”

Steven Tyler also performed at Back to the Beginning earlier this summer. It has been great to see him back on stage performing again. In May of 2023, Aerosmith announced their Peace Out Tour – a final 40-date trek across North America. While the tour kicked off to rave reviews and praise from fans, frontman Steven Tyler sustained a fractured larynx during the band’s performance at UBS Arena on September 9, 2023, just three shows into the band’s lengthy grand finale. After postponing the the bulk of their final run, Aerosmith finally confirmed their rescheduled Peace Out Tour dates for 2024. As it turns out, Tyler’s recovery has taken longer than expected. Finally, back on August 2, 2024, Aerosmith completely canceled the rescheduled shows and retired from the road.
