James LaBrie, vocalist for Long Island, New York-based progressive metal band Dream Theater, has released a music video for the track \u2018Am I Right\u2019. Directed by Wayne Joyner, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, James LaBrie said: \u201cThe anthemic song of the album with gorgeous chordal picking and progressions. A perfect marriage between melody and music. Extremely dynamic throughout with an epic and glorious ending.\u201d <\/p>\n

Bassist Paul Logue added: \u201cThis song was a real labour of love from James and I. It holds a special place in our hearts and has such emotion, feeling, melody and the climax is just fantastic!\u201d <\/p>\n

James LaBrie issues fourth solo full-length studio album Beautiful Shade Of Grey<\/em> on May 20th, 2022 through InsideOut Music.<\/p>\n

Beautiful Shade Of Grey<\/em> marks a full-length collaboration between James LaBrie and Eden\u2019s Curse bassist Paul Logue, who initially collaborated in 2011 for the Eden\u2019s Curse track \u2018No Holy Man\u2019. The pair remained in touch, and discussed collaborating with one another on another project. Dream Theater performed in Glasgow during the late winter of 2020, during which LaBrie and Logue would run into each other at the airport. This meeting would culminate in the Beautiful Shade Of Grey<\/em> album.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these lyrics are dealing with the beauty of human beings, and a lot are dealing with the grey areas of the in between,\u201d James LaBrie commented. \u201cYou\u2019re not exactly happy, but you\u2019re not exactly sad either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was designed by Thomas Ewerhard.<\/p>\n
