Scott Stapp Drops New Single "Higher Power"

With the recent announcement that Creed is set to reunite, frontman Scott Stamp is rapidly becoming a very busy man. Now the singer has released a new solo track, “Higher Power,” a faith-based rock song.

“Life’s mysteries can be unraveled by listening to one’s inner voice,” said Stapp in a presser about the song. Stop says that, for him, it means “leaning on my faith in God” but for others it could be in “art, nature, science, family, or a combination of all.” This is the first track the rocker has released from his upcoming album solo album- whose details are still under wraps.

AS FOR ANTHONY, HE'S A SHOCKED AS ANYONE BY THE SUCCESS OF THE SONG, AND SAYS HE ISN'T LOOKING FOR FAME OR FORTUNE. "I DON'T WANT 6 TOUR BUSES, 15 TRACTORS, TRAILERS AND A JET. I DON'T WANT TO PLAY STADIUM SHOWS, I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT. I WROTE THE MUSIC I WROTE BECAUSE I WAS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH AND DEPRESSION," HE CONFESSED. 

• IN OTHER ANTHONY NEWS, SAYS ANTHONY'S CO-MANAGER DRAVEN RIFFE, SOME BIG NAMES IN COUNTRY MUSIC HAVE ALREADY REACHED OUT. "THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ARTISTS WHO HAVE REACHED OUT, HONESTLY, JUST TO BE A MENTOR," RIFFE SAYS, CITING JELLY ROLL, RANDY TRAVIS, RYAN UPCHURCH AND BRENT SMITH OF SHINEDOWN. JOHN RICH HAS BEEN IN TOUCH, TOO, OFFERING TO PRODUCE MUSIC FOR ANTHONY AND PRAISING HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
