What dropped today

Two big releases landed at once:

  1. “Hollow Man” (with Bruce Springsteen) — a newly recorded, atmospheric take pairing New Jersey’s two most iconic voices.

  2. “Red, White & Jersey” — an energetic new single celebrating Garden State grit.

Both tracks are out now on major digital platforms, and “Hollow Man” arrived with an official lyric video.

Why this collaboration matters

Bon Jovi and Springsteen have often orbited one another as fellow New Jersey standard-bearers, but official releases featuring both are rare. This duet is a genuine “Jersey moment”: a crossover that taps shared roots—blue-collar storytelling, big-chorus rock—and introduces Forever’s evolving chapter to a wider, multi-generational audience.

 

Inside “Hollow Man”

The new rendition leans into mood and melody: restrained verses, widescreen chorus, and a lived-in vocal blend that highlights contrast—Jon Bon Jovi’s resilient rasp against Springsteen’s worn-leather warmth. The arrangement keeps the focus on narrative and harmony rather than maximalist bombast, giving the song the grown-up gravitas fans of both artists expect.

 

“Red, White & Jersey” as the companion piece

If “Hollow Man” is reflective, “Red, White & Jersey” is the adrenaline shot—up-tempo, hook-forward, and tailor-made for playlists and arenas. Dropping both tracks together provides a one-two storyline: celebrate the mythos, then deepen it.

How it fits into Forever (Legendary Edition)

Today’s releases are the public on-ramp to Forever (Legendary Edition), due October 24, 2025. The expanded set re-imagines Bon Jovi’s 2024 album with new recordings and marquee collaborators (including at least a few fellow rock heavyweights), positioning the project as both a creative refresh and a community event for fans.
