Due July 17 via Frontiers Music Srl, the project finds the band returning to their roots with a collection of covers honoring some of rock's most timeless hits.
The selected songs on “Homage” were chosen for a variety of reasons, primarily representing some of the greatest vocalists of all time, including Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, Etta James, and James Brown; additional selections reflect songs the band grew up hearing on the radio and on their turntables.
"Our new album 'Homage' is a thank-you note written in sound,” says the band. “An offering to the great singers and songs that shaped the music we grew up listening to, and the songs we would eventually write. We hope you all enjoy this as much as we did making it. Thank you for all the years - Keep it Real and Keep On Rockin'!"
Tesla are previewing “Homage” with their cover of Climax Blues Band's iconic track, "I Love You" (2026 Version).
"'I Love You,' like all the tracks on 'Homage,' “not only pays tribute to legends,” adds the group, “but gives us a chance to showcase our lead singer's diversity as well as the musical dynamics we learned as a band many years ago."
Tesla will hit the road this summer on "The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins" tour with Motley Crue and Extreme. The trek begins on July 17 in Burgettstown, PA and winds its way through the United States before concluding on September 26 in Ridgefield, Washington.
