Creed singer Scott Stapp has unleashed the latest song from his upcoming solo album, Higher Power, set for release on March 15th. The third single from the LP is titled “Black Butterfly,” and can be streamed below.
The new song follows previous singles “What I Deserve” and the title track. The hard-rocking tune is reminiscent of Bush in its initial verses as it leads up to an anthemic chorus and later a Middle Eastern-inspired guitar solo.
“Growth is a challenging process,” said Stapp of the song. “I often write aspirational lyrics about getting to that ‘next level’ – knowing what you’re capable of and rejecting the idea that you’re defined by your mistakes. Overcoming difficulty can lead to increased self-awareness and, in time, wisdom that can lead to helping others going through similar situations.”
As Stapp promotes his forthcoming solo album, he’s also prepping for a reunion tour with Creed. The multiplatinum band recently announced an extensive Summer 2024 North American outing that will feature support from 3 Doors Down on most dates, with tickets available here.
The tour will follow two sold-out Creed-headlined “Summer of ’99” cruises, set to set sail in April from Miami and Orlando, respectively.
