Get Your Heart On! available for streaming tomorrow!

Three years of waiting for some new Simple Plan music are now over, ladies and gentlemen. Even though the album won’t physically come out till next week, tomorrow at 10am GMT AlterThePress.com will be streaming the whole Simple Plan’s album “Get Your Heart On!” online (unfortunately the stream is available for UK locations only & to those, who pre-ordered). So let’s do a little recap of everything you can look forward to.

Get Your Heart On! is officially being released on June 21st 2011 as the 4th Simple Plan’s studio album, following the band’s previous records: No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls (2002), Still Not Getting Any… (2004) and Simple Plan (2008). Simple Plan started working on Get Your Heart On! back in 2009, but they didn’t hit the studio in Vancouver till July 2010, where they were being mentored by the album’s producer Brian Howes. This is where they had to decide which of the 60 songs that they have written for the album, they would keep: which would end up on the final version of the record. The band chose 11 songs (needless to say the deluxe digital version of the album includes 2 bonus tracks; the French version of Jet Lag and also the song Never Should’ve Let You Go, which has been already recorded in the process of the making of the self-titled (3rd) record.

The tracklisting says it all: the album composes of lots of special guests. Jet Lag features two female singers: Natasha Bedingfield from the UK and Marie-Mai from Canada, who helped the song turn into a bi-lingual song with 2 versions: English and French one. Apart from these two ladies, the album features three male guests: the Somalian/Canadian singer/rapper K’Naan lent his voice to the song Summer Paradise, you can also hear All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth in the second verse of Freaking Me Out and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer guest stars in the track no.2: Can’t Keep My Hands Off You.

And the collaborations didn’t end with just singers: the album also features a large number of song-writers, who helped Chuck and Pierre co-write some of the songs. These talented people include for instance Jim Irvin, Michael Warren, Julian Emery, Claude Kelly or David Hodges.

The first music video released from Get Your Heart On! was for the song Can’t Keep My Hands Off You. Yet at the same time this song was not said to be an official single – the clip only accompanied the premiere of the Disney movie Prom, which features the song on its soundtrack. The second music video is finally for the first official single: Jet Lag which also started the very first changes on Simple Plan’s official website with the so-called Jet Lag Airlines. After that another series of changes took over SimplePlan.com and the band introcuded themselves as The Simple Plans (aka The Beach Boys), The SP’s (aka The Ramones), The Simple P’s (aka Run DMC) and Plan! (aka Wham!) and showed us a little bit different side of the last few decades of our music industry.

Astronaut has already been confirmed as the upcoming second single (and also the third, or perhaps fourth (if you count Jet Lag twice) music video). This song has also already given the name to the Simple Plan fans (who really wanted to have their own unique name): the Astronauts.

The album finishes with an epic ballad entitled This Song Saved My Life, which not only features Simple Plan’s fans’ vocals, but most importantly their stories and feelings about how the band, song or music in general has saved or changed their lives. Pierre and Chuck co-wrote this song with their fans via Twitter and came up with a song that will surely become one of the most important songs for all fans of Simple Plan.

One thing is clear though: tomorrow all the songs (except for the bonus tracks) will be available for streaming via pre-order or AlterThePress (UK only). The waiting worth three years is finally over and we can look forward to the next few years of Simple Plan touring all around the world… And have no worries, they will come to your country too. Just keep calm… and get your heart on! :)
