'Controlled Chaos' is out November 16, with a co-headlining tour to follow.
Nita Strauss has announced her debut solo album, Controlled Chaos, due for release on November 16 via Sumerian Records.
In advance of the album, Strauss, who is currently a member of Alice Cooper’s band and who has played with Jermaine Jackson, the Iron Maidens, Femme Fatale and more, has shared the video for the first single, "Our Most Desperate Hour." You can check out the clip above.
Said Strauss about the album: "From bright and fun to aggressive and dark, from peaceful to chaotic, this album is a way for me to give the listener a glimpse into my personality and what goes on inside my mind."
She added in a post on her official website: “Producing and doing the majority of the engineering on this record myself was a challenge for me in so many ways and I learned A LOT about myself in the process but I am beyond thrilled with how it came out!!!!! And so happy to get to share it with you guys now!!! I’m writing this post with tears in my eyes thinking of the journey of the last few months… you guys… WE DID IT!!!!!!”
Controlled Chaos is available for pre-order at NitaStrauss.com.
