Steven Tyler To Release New Solo Single

New song to be released in May

Published 28th Apr 2011

Billboard.com reports that the Aerosmith frontman and "American Idol" judge will release his first U.S. solo single, '(It) Feels So Good,' on 9 May, with the song going on sale the following day at digital retailers. The video that Tyler shot for the song on Tuesday is expected to debut on an episode of "Idol."

The song itself, an upbeat, summery tune written by Tyler and frequent collaborator Marti Frederiksen and recorded in Los Angeles, will be premiered on "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest's radio show KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.

"(It) Feels So Good" is Tyler's second solo step outside the band; in November he released "Love Lives," the theme song for the Japanese film "Space Battleship Yamato." It is, however, a stand-alone song and will not be part of a solo album.

The song will be released to coincide Tyler's new autobiography, Does The Noise In My Head Bother You, which is released on 3 May.
