Former Journey singer, Steve Perry, announced his collaboration with The Effect, and recorded a new version of Journey’s ”It Could Have Been You”.

Here’s what Steve Perry shared on his social media page:

 “In 1986 the JOURNEY ‘Raised On Radio’ record was released and in it was a song I’ve always felt was a diamond in the rough.

“I’ve known Trevor Lukather since he was 9 years old and he is a very gifted musician. One day we were talking about his new band, The Effect… He surprisingly mentioned ‘It Could Have Been You’ is one of his favorite tracks from that record, I told him I felt the same. I then said, why don’t you record it? He asked if I would sing on it if they did, I said… ‘Of course my most precious!’

“I must say, singing on their powerful track brought out a vocal experience in me from years ago ! So now… Releasing on May 7th on all socials and streaming is a very powerful reimagined version of, ‘It Could Have Been You’ by… The Effect. Have a listen!”

The Effect features Trevor “Trev” Lukather, on guitars, Nic Collins on drums, and Steve Maggiora of Toto on keyboards.
