What Happens Next is the sixteenth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on January 12, 2018, through Sony Music.[2] [3]
On What Happens Next, Satriani consciously went in a more simplistic direction than on his previous album, Shockwave Supernova. As opposed to an alien alter ego, this time he wrote songs "about a human being, two feet on the ground, heart pumping, with emotions, dreams, and hopes. That seemed to be the direction I really was yearning for". He referred to it as an 'internal artistic rebirth' and collaborated with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, and producer Mike Fraser.
All tracks are written by Joe Satriani.
