    Steven decided to "postpone the future" as his last album, The Future Bites, was delayed until he could do the tour promotion. Nevertheless, he did release the single "Personal Shopper," which is an interesting track.

    The other single, "King Ghost," which was supposed to be released a few weeks later, was postponed indefinitely. However, the track became available on some streaming platforms, and I was able to hear it. So far, it's the best track.

    I think Steven will surprise us again with a distinctive and challenging album and show next year.

    Never afraid to try new things, usually to great success, Steven represents the frontier of modern progressive music.
