In a captivating musical revelation, Billy Joel recently debuted an unheard track titled ‘Every Time' on John Mayer's new SiriusXM show, *How's Life*. The track, which Joel had apparently been developing over many years, was shared during the pilot episode of Mayer's show, creating a palpable buzz among fans and the music community. Mayer's radio program aims to delve into musicians' lives and creative processes, setting the perfect stage for such an exclusive debut. This interaction not only provided a unique listening experience but also offered a rare insight into Joel’s creative archive.

The introduction of ‘Every Time' was a highlight of the show, particularly because it marks one of the few public unveilings of Joel's previously unreleased material. As Joel played the track, he shared the song's concept with listeners, describing it as an idea he had been wanting to realize for quite some time. The piano-driven piece's title alludes to the sentiment, “I’ll screw it up every time,” reflecting a relatable, introspective narrative that adds depth to its melodic allure. Joel's demonstration was met with enthusiastic reception from fans who have long awaited new music from the legendary artist.

This release follows another significant musical moment for Joel, who earlier this year broke a 17-year hiatus by releasing a new single, “Turn the Lights Back On”. The unveiling of ‘Every Time' thus adds a layer to what has been a revival of creativity for the artist, indicating a possible continuation of his engagement with new music. Joel's sentiments during the radio appearance suggest that he has overcome the previous creative block that kept him from writing new music, suggesting a reawakening in his musical journey.

The fact that the track was debuted on John Mayer’s show is particularly noteworthy. Mayer, himself a prolific and respected musician, has managed to create a platform that highlights the artistry and ongoing creativity of fellow musicians. His decision to feature Joel on his pilot episode speaks volumes about the respect and recognition Joel commands within the industry. Mayer's show provides an intimate space where artists can share their work in a more personal and engaging manner, which aligns perfectly with the detailed storytelling nature of Joel's music.
