Philly Rock Band SORAIA Puts Its Spin on the KISS Classic 'Strutter' Off Upcoming 10-Song LP 'Bloom'

Philadelphia rockers Soraia take on the KISS classic "Strutter," the latest single off the band's upcoming 10-song LP 'Bloom', which is slated for release on October 28, via Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records.

Soraia front woman ZouZou Mansour says, "We have had so many suggestions of songs to remake that I'm always surprised about what we inevitably decide to cover - 'Strutter' was the biggest surprise mainly because our bassist Travis (Smith) suggested it, and I had no idea that it was even a song he knew or appreciated. But because he did---we covered it. That simple. Just a fun song to do, and any size audience loves singing along to it."

"Strutter" is the follow-up to the lead single "I Seek Fire" which is currently making waves at rock radio. The video for that track was directed by Sam Shapson (Yeah Yeah Yeahs , Demi Lovato, Oliver Tree, Thrice, Corey Taylor, All Time Low, MKG, Poppy).

Coming off the massive chart success of the 2021 single "Tight Lipped" and 2020 breakthrough album 'Dig Your Roots, the deeply personal new album finds the band covering new ground both sonically and lyrically.

"Ultimately, our new album is about rising above all of the slights, injuries, and traumas we've all experienced - personally and together - and positioning ourselves into a new place we've chosen. A place with renewed courage and vitality. We realize we are all deserving of a life driven by our choices and power," affirms ZouZou Mansour, lead singer and lyricist for Soraia.
