JAKARTA - In a new interview with Jorge Botas from Metal Global, Joey Tempest spoke about Europe's recently released song Hold Your Head Up.

The song, which Europe describes contains elements reminiscent of their early era, was recorded in August at Atlantis Studios in Stockholm with Klas 09hrund (Ghost, Robyn) producer and mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein, Def Leppard).

Asked why he and his bandmates at Europe decided to only record and release one song for now, Tempest said.

"Kami ingin lagu ini selesai sebelum tori Eropa musim fall 2023 dan dokumenter [Europe mendatang). Jadi kami fokus pada lagu ini sehingga kami punya sesuatu bersama dengan tori dan dokumenter," Tempest memulaikan.

"That's why we're releasing one song now. But we have some great ideas," he continued.

"We want to record an album next year. And whether we're going to do it at first, I don't know yet, but we have some great ideas. And Hold Your Head Up is just the first, basically."
