Nearly four decades after launching his recording career, Paul Laine is opening an exciting new chapter.
The veteran Canadian rocker has announced his new solo album, The Long Road Back, which will arrive on Sept. 25 via Frontiers Music Srl. To coincide with the announcement, Laine also released the album's lead single, "Love Me Or Leave Me," giving fans their first taste of his latest collection of melodic rock songs.
Laine shared his excitement about returning to his solo roots.
"I'm so happy to launch a new era in my solo career with my new single 'Love Me Or Leave Me,'" Laine said in a statement. "I feel like I finally got a chance to pick up where I left off all those years ago, when I finished making Stick It In Your Ear. Come join me on my new musical journey with The Long Road Back album. See y’all out on the road in 2027.”
Laine first emerged on the rock scene in 1989, earning recognition for his powerful vocals before becoming one of melodic rock's most respected frontmen. He gained widespread attention as the lead singer of Danger Danger during the 1990s, recording acclaimed albums including Dawn and Cockroach. He later co-founded the melodic rock supergroup The Defiants, further cementing his reputation among fans of the genre.
Beyond his work as a performer, Laine has built an impressive career as a songwriter and producer, collaborating with numerous artists across the melodic rock and hard rock worlds. His combination of soaring vocals and hook-driven songwriting has made him a favorite among fans long after the commercial peak of the genre.
The Long Road Back marks Laine's first new solo studio album since 1996 and represents a return to the style that first established him as a standout vocalist. The album continues his tradition of combining polished production, memorable melodies and emotionally resonant songwriting while looking ahead rather than relying on nostalgia.
"I think any artist who cares about their art feels pressure to better themselves on the next release," Laine told Classic Rock in 2026. "I certainly tried to write the best I could on the Danger Danger albums. To me, they were like follow-ups to Stick It In Your Ear. I am proud of those records, as I also am of the Shugaazer album I released in 2004. I've never really felt a need to compromise in this industry."
With a new album on the horizon and plans to hit the road in 2027, Laine continues to prove that melodic rock still has plenty of life left in it. Thirty-seven years after beginning his career, the veteran singer is once again looking forward instead of back.
