\nMR. BIG will release their new album, Defying Gravity, on July 7th. The band has now unleashed a new music video for the album track, \u201cEverybody Needs A Little Trouble\u201d. Check it out below.<\/p>\n

Defying Gravity deftly showcases that patented Mr. Big blend of crunch and melody, from the freight-train ride of opening cut “Open Your Eyes” to the harmony-laden wonderment of “Damn I’m In Love Again” to the grateful\/wistful nostalgia of “1992” (recalling the days when the band was flying high atop the singles charts with their international #1 smash “To Be With You”) to the barnburning slide-blues closer, “Be Kind\u201d. Overall, Defying Gravity is prime evidence that the only thing Mr. Big remains tethered to is their ongoing pursuit of achieving creative excellence.<\/p>\n

Original members Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitars), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Pat Torpey (drums) reunited with producer Kevin Elson (who was behind the boards for the band\u2019s 1989 self-titled debut, 1991\u2019s Lean Into It and 1993\u2019s Bump Ahead) for an intensive six-day recording session in Los Angeles. While Torpey was unable to perform some of the songs on Defying Gravity due to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, Matt Starr has been filling in for him on a majority of the album. Starr also been touring with the band for the past couple of years, with Torpey able to play a couple of songs at each stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to get back in the studio with our original producer, Kevin Elson,\u201d says guitarist Paul Gilbert. \u201cKevin recorded all of our original classic albums from the \u201880s and \u201890s, and we immediately felt that magic chemistry with him on Defying Gravity. We basically played live in the studio. Over the years, we\u2019ve all had a chance to experiment with every recording technique possible, but it\u2019s still always the best just to play together as a band. Most of my guitar solos were tracked live with the band. I\u2019ve worked hard on my improvisation in the last few years, and it really paid off on this record\u2026both melodically, and on the face-melting stuff.\u201d
