Jordan Rudess, keyboardist for Dream Theater, has released a new solo album called Permission To Fly. The album takes a song-based approach and features British singer That Joe Payne. Rudess wanted to create an album with a good amount of vocal sections and a balance between songs and instrumental pieces. He also collaborated with his daughter, Ariana, who helped sort through his musical ideas and wrote the album's lyrics. Rudess, known for his obsession with technology, stayed focused on the keyboard and used his own guitar playing on the album. He hopes to continue working with this band in the future.
