I'm expecting a fall release. I'm glad they're taking their time with it. Rushed records always turn into disasters.

There were rumors that this album was supposed to take place over two years ago. They must have a ton of material. I'd like to see a straight up Richie album and then a second album of duet shit with her.
Don't forget that right after the Aftermath tour (and quitting Bon Jovi), Richie started immediately on his forth solo album, even before getting together with Ori. Then I've seen multiple studio pics from the past two years. It seems as if this album has been scrapped and started over a few times. I also think Richie is going to have a lot of special guests playing on it as well.
The good news is, it's nice to see that his is taking his time and getting it right. If Engine 19 was any indication of the initial production and vocal, I'm glad to know that he is taking his time. As I hope Jon is doing as well....
This is all going to be interesting to see how this all turns out. A Richie Duets Album and a Bon Jovi album without Richie. It's either going to all be great or total shit, no in between... But then looking back at the past few years, it can't get much worse, can it?

Though it's only a very short clip, I'm a little concerned about how Richie sounds. His vocals at the end sound overly compressed and robotic (almost like JBJ in WAN).
Plus Ori is waaaaay to high in the mix.

It's just a snippet, I don't think it's the final mix but time will tell. Looks like they'll be releasing it as a single first (Ori said the word when she posted the funny vid with Michael B earden playing polka on a tiny synth sounding like a tuba) and then the album. Another famous Ri(t)chie will release his own take on the same song with his partner both in life and on stage next fall, it should be interesting: www.blabbermouth.net/news/video-ritchie-blackmores-blackmores-night-performs-in-paris/

Why would anyone else give a shit about Richie Blackmore covering this song? It's bad enough we have to deal with one of our own doing it.

The interview they did last Thursday:
Richie Sambora on Upcoming Album with Girlfriend Orianthi: "It's Like Sonny & Cher on Steroids"
Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has put his old band behind him and is focusing on a new musical partnership with his current girlfriend, Australian guitar whiz Orianthi. Sambora tells ABC Radio that he's in the middle of recording a new album that will be a duets project with the 30-year-old Aussie musician.
"It's going so good, man," he declares. "It's not what people are gonna expect. I think they're gonna expect this, like, giant guitar record, which [it's] a little bit of that but, no, it's just great songs and her and I singing together…So, it's kind of like Sonny & Cher on steroids."
Sambora says he met Orianthi at a charity show Alice Cooper organized in Hawaii when she was playing in the shock rocker's band. Richie recalls that he and Orianthi ended up dueling together on a marathon version of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child."
"The chemistry was something like I'd never felt before in my life," he admits, adding that he went on to invite her to tour with him throughout the summer last year.
That chemistry has carried over to the recording project. Sambora says he's blown away by Orianthi's guitar skills, but points out that they've connected in other musical areas as well.
"It's a unique situation, because she arguably can be the best female guitarist on the planet, and on any given night she could be the best [guitarist]," he maintains. "But…what [people] don't know is that she sings really well and she's also a writer, so when we started to get together and doing that, we just never stopped."
He also says that, vocally, he and Orianthi sound great together. "Our voices are very sympathetic to each other, and it's really powerful," Sambora notes. "It's better than I thought it was gonna be and I thought it was gonna really good."
Sambora reveals that the upcoming album, which he's co-producing with acclaimed keyboardist and arranger Michael Bearden, also will feature a variety of respected session musicians and guest artists. They include longtime Rolling Stones touring bassist Darryl Jones, drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. of Paul McCartney's backing band and Living Colour drummer Will Calhoun. In addition, Richie says he's planning to have such musical friends as Stevie Wonder, Buddy Guy and, possibly, Gregg Allman contribute to the sessions.
As for the sound of the record, Sambora says it will include a variety of styles, from guitar-driven rock to acoustic ballads to danceable tunes that incorporate industrial beats.
"It's a new sound," explains Richie. "That's what I was searching for as a producer, something that people weren't used to hearing before."
Sambora says he expects the album to be ready for release after "the first of the year," and he's planning to bring Orianthi out on the road to support the project.
