“Traces” marks Perry‘s first solo album since 1994’s “For The Love Of Strange Medicine”, which was certified gold in the U.S. for sales in excess of half a million copies.
Produced by Perry alongside co-producer Thom Flowers, “Traces” is the artist’s most vulnerable and honest recording to date, balancing tremendous loss with enduring hope and beauty. The album is a collection of nine original tracks that encompass the spectrum of human emotion, and also features a beautifully reimagined cover of THE BEATLES‘ “I Need You”. It is the work of an artist who has reconnected with his music in a new way.
In a message posted on his official web site and social media accounts, Perry said: “Years ago, I disappeared. There were many reasons, but mainly my love for music had suddenly left me. I knew that simply stopping was what I had to do if music was ever to return to my heart. Then and only then I would figure out what to do. If not… so be it. For I had already lived the dream of dreams.
“Many years passed. One day I began sketching some musical ideas with the creative freedom that I was the only one who would ever hear them. One song led to many. My love for music had returned. Then another beautiful thing happened. I found love.

“My precious Kellie gave me a life I never knew I had. I lost her December of 2012. I now deeply understand the meaning of: ‘It’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.’
