Cinderella’s Tom Kiefer talked to Larry Mac of the 96.1 KLPX radio station, where he was asked if he has plans to release new music, following his solo 2019’s ”Rise”:

“Song ideas kind of come in dribs and drabs and melodies here that I sing into a voice memo and jot down a few lyrics. And those things kind of start to accumulate, and just when you least expect it, when you don’t think you really have anything and you start to get in that place, it’s, like, ‘Oh, man. I’m never gonna make another record again.

”When’s it gonna happen?’ And then, all of a sudden, boom, you’re making a record. It’s just kind of, like, all these ideas will accumulate and then you realize you have something. It’s hard to predict when that’ll happen. We had thought about and wanted to make a follow-up record to ‘The Way Life Goes’ and we were touring so much behind that one and building this new band out on the road, it just seemed like it was never gonna happen.

”And, actually, when we got off the road in 2018, without any premeditated planning or anything, we just kind of suddenly found ourselves in the studio and recording the ‘Rise’ record. And before we knew it, it was done and released. So you kind of just know when the time is right. This period of creativity, at least for me, it just kind of hits you over the head like a bolt of lightning.”
