Tom Petty has announced that his new album will be titled ‘Hypnotic Eye’ and will return his sound to that of the first couple of albums.
Petty and the Heartbreakers didn’t set out to create that sound but realized it after listening to some of the tracks. Petty told Rolling Stone that it was guitarist Mike Campbell who actually had the revelation telling him “You sing like you did on the first two albums.”
Tom went on to say “I knew I wanted to do a rock’n’roll record. We hadn’t made a straight hard rocking record, from beginning to end, in a long time.”
Hypnotic Eye is expected this summer.
