Upcoming Music from Aerosmith and Yungblud
Aerosmith and Yungblud initially released the original version of “My Only Angel” in September, marking the first single from their forthcoming collaborative EP, titled *One More Time*.

The *One More Time* EP will feature four brand new tracks: “My Only Angel,” “Problems,” “Wild Woman,” and “A Thousand Days.” Additionally, it includes a fresh remix of Aerosmith’s classic anthem “Back in the Saddle,” originally from their 1976 album *Rocks*.
‘One More Time’ Marks a New Chapter for Aerosmith
This EP signifies Aerosmith’s return to the music scene after over a decade, their last release being the 2012 album *Music From Another Dimension!* It also comes after the band’s unfortunate cancellation of their Peace Out farewell tour, which was prompted by a vocal injury sustained by frontman Steven Tyler during the early stages of the tour.
Despite the challenges, Tyler has made sporadic performances, including a notable mini-set at Ozzy Osbourne’s *Back to the Beginning* farewell concert, where Yungblud also took the stage. More recently, Tyler, Joe Perry, and Yungblud honored Osbourne at the MTV VMAs, covering the classic track “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”
