Jon Bon Jovi has announced that his band’s upcoming new album will be titled Bon Jovi: 2020.
The rocker revealed the title on board the Runaway to Paradise Mediterranean Cruise. Explaining the choice of the title, Bon Jovi said he had a “clear vision” after the band’s previous album, 2016’s This House is Not For Sale.
“The meaning behind it – there’s the obvious: It’s an election year and I couldn’t do any worse,” Bon Jovi said at an intimate Q&A session during the Runaway to Paradise concert cruise.
“And I also have clear vision. This House Is Not for Sale dealt with a lot of personal matters, and now it’s behind us,” he added. “So, 2020 – of course, it’s an election year, but more importantly it’s that I have clear vision going forward.”
Bon Jovi added that the album will feature more “socially conscious” themes, including songs about veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and the recent shootings in Ohio and Texas.
“I think I’m very happy with it,” he said. “I’ve written a bunch of songs that are very different. Don’t expect ‘[You Give Love a] Bad Name.’ This is a socially conscious record.”
Although it’s unknown when the new album will drop, it will probably drop next year as the title suggest.
