A new album from Bon Jovi titled "This House is Not For Sale" is on its way and although no specific date has been said yet, frontman Jon Bon Jovi confirmed that it will be this March 2016.
Jon Bon Jovi broke out the news in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he told the reporters that Bon Jovi's upcoming new album, "This House is Not For Sale," has made the band really go back to its roots.
"We were recording at different times and different rooms in the studio. That's not happening anymore," Jon Bon Jovi told the press. "We went back to the place where we cut 'Runaway' in 1982-where I used to sweep the floor and fetch coffee."
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the studio Jon Bon Jovi was talking about is the Power Station in Manhattan, owned by the frontman's cousin, Tony Bongiovi. Some of the memories etched in the old studio was Bon Jovi's participation in the "Star Wars" Christmas album.
Jon Bon Jovi also hinted that the materials that may be contained in "This House is Not For Sale" may be different from their usual lively rock sound.
"When I wrote 'Runaway' in 1982, my viewpoint wasn't that big," he said. "But with every record and the passing decade of our career, we evolve. We keep our eyes open, let information in and write about the world around us. We really couldn't write 'You Give Love a Bad Name' now. It was great when I was 25 but not at 53."
"This record is about integrity. Integrity matters and we're at a stage of our career where we don't have anything to prove," Jon Bon Jovi further said.
In an interview with Billboard (via Best Classic Bands), Jon Bon Jovi expressed that "This House is Not For Sale" will please fans, saying, "I have a lot of material to write about it. Believe me, the new record is good. It's pointed. It's something we are going to be proud of."
