John Diva & The Rockets Of Love Deliver Ultimate 80s Anthem with “Soundtrack Of My Life” and Announce New Album “Your Favorite Drug”

John Diva & The Rockets Of Love Soundtrack Of My Life : Get ready to dust off your leather jackets and tease your hair to new heights. John Diva & The Rockets Of Love are back, and they are bringing the unadulterated glitz, glamour, and high-octane energy of the 1980s straight back into the modern music scene. The acclaimed hard rockers have officially unleashed their brand-new single, “Soundtrack Of My Life”, alongside an official visualizer, giving fans an irresistible taste of what to expect from their upcoming full-length studio album, “Your Favorite Drug”.

Set for release on October 16, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl, the new record promises to be one of the standout hard rock releases of the year. For fans of massive hooks, soaring choruses, and razor-sharp guitar riffs, the countdown to October has officially begun.

Dive Headfirst Into the 1980s With “Soundtrack Of My Life”

Released on September 9, 2026, “Soundtrack Of My Life” is far more than just a nostalgic nod to a bygone era; it is a full-throttle celebration of an age when rock anthems were built to last forever. From its infectious keyboard lines to the driving, hard-hitting guitars, the track weaves together the very best sonic touchstones of the 1980s.

The band didn’t hold back when designing the sonic landscape of the single, intentionally packing it with references and nods to iconic legends. Listeners will easily spot the DNA of towering classics like Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams”, Poison’s “Talk Dirty To Me”, Billy Idol’s “Flesh For Fantasy”, The Police’s “Every Breath You Take”, and Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark”.

At the core of the track lies an unforgettable, fist-pumping chorus: “Welcome to the Eighties / To the soundtrack of my life”. According to the band, the track captures the absolute essence of excess, romance, and the endless pursuit of the next big thrill.

“The song is really about climbing straight back into that world rather than looking at it nostalgically from a distance,” the band shared. “It’s sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, one-night stands, romance and the endless pursuit of the next thrill – all wrapped up in a big, unapologetic Eighties anthem.”

Adding an extra layer of authenticity to the track, guitarist CJ steps up for a blistering solo that serves as a loving nod to that legendary moment when Michael Jackson met Van Halen. Ultimately, “Soundtrack Of My Life” doesn’t just sound like the 1980s—it sounds like the 1980s refusing to die.

Behind the Scenes of “Your Favorite Drug”

Following the release of the single, anticipation is reaching fever pitch for the arrival of Your Favorite Drug on October 16, 2026. The new album sees John Diva & The Rockets Of Love operating at the absolute peak of their creative powers, delivering a collection of tracks that feel both timeless and electrifyingly fresh.

Produced by Hannes Braun, the album captures a perfectly balanced sound that is both polished and delightfully gritty, amplifying the band’s larger-than-life personality. Speaking about the production process, the band emphasized a shift toward absolute focus, efficiency, and intensity.

While previous releases like American Amadeus leaned heavily into experimentation, Your Favorite Drug takes a more streamlined approach—stripping away everything unnecessary until what remains is a sparkling, high-impact diamond of a hard rock record.

For frontman John Diva, the recording process also held deep personal significance. The album was recorded in southern Germany—where the singer’s family originates—giving him the unique opportunity to stay with relatives while bringing the record to life.

“When I think about making this album, there’s a very personal layer to it,” John Diva explained. “We recorded in southern Germany, where my family is from, and I stayed with relatives during the sessions. It brought back a lot of great memories, so I went into the studio with a double sense of joy – giving everything to the record while reconnecting with my roots.”

Remarkably, the entire album was crafted in a state of clean-cut frenzy. Completely sober yet fueled by pure creative adrenaline, the band wrote, recorded, and finalized the tracks at a rapid pace. That spontaneity is baked right into the grooves of the record: the title track came together in a matter of hours, while cuts like “Bigger Than America” evolved into massive, widescreen anthems.
