Zebra Unveils First New Album in 23 Years and Tour Dates

After more than two decades of anticipation, the rock band Zebra is officially returning to the studio. The band has announced that their latest album, Zebra V, will be released on November 13, marking their first full-length studio project in 23 years.

To kick off the release, the band debuted the lead single, Walk With You. The track is a notable collaboration co-written with Paul Stanley of KISS. Lead guitarist and vocalist Randy Jackson recalled that the song came together quickly, noting that he and Stanley completed the track in approximately two hours during a visit to Stanley's home.

The album also features contributions from Snake Sabo and Rachel Bolan of Skid Row. Jackson highlighted a specific collaboration, a ballad titled I'll Be There Beside You, which he considers one of the strongest tracks on the record.

A significant part of the album's development was the return of legendary producer Jack Douglas, who worked on Zebra's first two albums in the 1980s. Jackson praised Douglas for being a true musician who could provide hands-on guidance during the recording process. Poignantly, Zebra V serves as one of the final projects Douglas completed before his unexpected passing earlier this year.

Beyond the music, Zebra is hitting the road to reconnect with their audience. The band has announced a series of concert dates extending into 2027. Jackson expressed gratitude for the band's enduring popularity, noting that their loyal fan base has remained supportive throughout their 50-year history.

Zebra V is available for pre-order now and arrives on November 13.
