Alice Cooper is back with all the storytelling power that has captivated fans for decades in "I'm Alice," the first sample from his new album Road , announced this Wednesday, the 14th.
The track will be the first from the concept album and, according to a press release, “I'm Alice” gives a good preview of what to expect from the new record, as it was described as “setting the tone for the album with its drum beat while the guitars moan in the distance”.
In the single, Alice Cooper plays with the mystique of the character and persona he created for the stage, presenting himself as the ideal friend for those seeking fun. "I am the Master of Madness, the Sultan of Surprise / So don't be afraid, just look into my eyes," he sings in the chorus.
