Renowned Canadian singer Paul Laine will release his new studio album, The Long Road Back, on September 25, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl.

The song is a masterclass in melodic rock, delivering soaring hooks and heartfelt ballads that traverse the full spectrum of the genre.

Laine comments: "I'm so happy to launch a new era in my solo career with my new single 'Love Me Or Leave Me'.

I feel like I finally got a chance to pick up where I left off all those years ago, when I finished making Stick It In Your Ear.

Come join me on my new musical journey with The Long Road Back album." A statement from Laine about his music: "Ever since I released my first solo album, I've wondered when I'd finally have the chance to make a follow-up.
