Journey to release first album with new Filipino singer

Journey

"Revelation," the debut disc from Journey featuring new singer Arnel Pineda, is set for a June 3 release exclusively through Wal-Mart stores.

The three-disc package features two CDs that include 11 re-recorded classics with Steve Perry sound-alike Pineda on vocals and 11 new songs, plus a live concert DVD.

Guitarist Neal Schon discovered Pineda, who hails from Quezon City in the Philippines, last year when he spotted the singer on YouTube performing songs with his Journey cover band The Zoo.

A U.S. tour is tentatively set for July.

Here's a video, purportedly of an unnamed new song being played at the Planet Hollywood Theatre in Las Vegas on March 8. In it, you can hear Pineda thank his fellow "pinoys" -- a nickname Filipinos sometimes use for themselves. Also listen for an announcement that the concert is being filmed for the "Revelation" live disc:
