Canadian rockers Billy Talent have released the first official single from their forthcoming album, due out this fall. The song, “Reckless Paradise” showcases the powerful driving riffs and pointed lyrics the band is famous for. Produced by Billy Talent guitarist and Juno Award nominee (Producer of the Year) Ian D’Sa, “Reckless Paradise” is available now everywhere you listen to music.
This single follows up on “Forgiveness I + II,” which was released as a surprise in November to great acclaim. “Forgiveness” quickly climbed into the Top 20 at Canadian radio, despite not being an official single from the band.
