\n\tLinkin Park<\/a> have been on such a roll over the past year that they recently did something they\u2019ve rarely done in the past: write new music on the road. Fans will get to hear the fruits of that labor on May 16 with the release of a deluxe edition of last year\u2019s surprise comeback album, From Zero.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo of the three new bonus tracks on that special edition, \u201cUp From the Bottom and \u201cLet You Fade,\u201d were finished after the initial sessions for the long-running rock band\u2019s first effort with new singer Emily Armstrong; the former was written in between tour dates and the latter was started during the album sessions and finished after its release. <\/p>\n

\n\tWith \u201cUp From the Bottom\u201d just out, Billboard executive director, music Jason Lipshutz asked what it feels like to keep the chart momentum of the 2.0 lineup rolling after the group announced their revival in 2024, seven years after the 2017 death of original singer Chester Bennington. \u201cA day in the life,\u201d Armstrong laughed, as singer\/guitarist Mike Shinoda teased that his newest bandmate is already \u201csuper jaded\u201d at this point. \u201cShe\u2019s just so used to it,\u201d he said in the video you can watch in full above. \u201cShe was so down to earth in the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShinoda said LP wrote \u201cUp From the Bottom\u201d at the end of last year and though it was the last new song they laid down for the deluxe, it was the quickest one to wrap. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of fun having that shorter momentum,\u201d he said, noting that typically the band is \u201cso meticulous\u201d that it was a breath of fresh air to turn something so quickly. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe also said that \u201cLet You Fade\u201d started off as a not-as-loud song on a demo that just didn\u2019t make the cut before the group pivoted to a piano-and-vocals only arrangement that was transformed into a song that starts off really loud and goes quiet on the bridge. \u201cThat piano and vocal thing was the second demo [we recorded during the initial sessions],\u201d Shinoda said. \u201cOf the three it\u2019s probably my favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe expanded album will also feature the new song \u201cUnshatter,\u201d a track Shinoda said LP began working on when they were first just getting to know Armstrong.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn fact, she was so new that Shinoda said when he began playing back Armstrong\u2019s wailing vocal on the song new drummer Colin Brittain heard the screaming on the bridge from the control room and said, \u201c\u2018oh you know who she sounds like? The singer from Dead Sara,’\u201d which, of course is exactly who she is. \u201cHe said, \u2018dude, really? She\u2019s soooo good!’\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAnd while Armstrong said they\u2019re thinking about putting a small recording studio on their tour bus, Shinoda cautioned fans not to expect more new music this year since LP will be on the road for much of 2025. Speaking of which, with a 27-song, two-hour running time straining their ability to get all the fan favorites and deep tracks into the mix, Armstrong joked, \u201cI think we should play four hours.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPerhaps it\u2019s that adrenalin, or maybe her take-no-prisoners performance style, but Shinoda said having Armstrong front the band has earned him some serious cool dad points at home. \u201cI have daughters and having them see Emily and be like, \u2018Whoa! She is so cool!\u2019,\u201d is a huge boost. \u201cThey say this all the time\u2026 they\u2019re like, \u2018Emily\u2019s so cool,’\u201d he said as Armstrong soaked up the kind words. \u201cThey think she\u2019s the coolest human on Earth. They\u2019re like, \u2018dad, you\u2019re not that cool. She\u2019s very cool.’\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe band will be on stage on Tuesday night (May 6) at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, N.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Linkin Park have been on such a roll over the past year that they recently did something they\u2019ve…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,38903,269,38904,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-79868","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-genre-rock","10":"tag-music","11":"tag-music-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114462409662133741","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
