Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam has released a new solo single titled “Long Way” which is the first off of his upcoming solo album Earthling. The track is produced with producer Andrew Watt in a way that lets Vedder’s vocals shine through as Watt’s production shines with the emotion of the track. Released via Seattle Surf/ Republic Records, Vedder begins to explore his own solo career while still working and touring with Pearl Jam. He has also announced the pre-order of a special limited-edition seven-inch vinyl featuring “Long Way” and soon-to-be released song “The Haves”.
The video, shot through the perspective of a road-trip, Vedder sings, “He took the long way/ On the freeway.” The lyric video really drives in the emotion of the track, as if you could be singing this on your own road-trip through the mountains.
