Simon Phillips, John Payne and Ernest Tibbs talking about "Miracles Beyond"

"Miracles Beyond" is the eight album of the Bulgarian supergroup Intelligent Music Project and is officially coming out on 15th of May 2024.
The eight album features an ensemble of legendary musicians, including Simon Phillips (TOTO, Protocol, The Who, Judas Priest), Joseph Williams (TOTO), John Payne (ex-Asia), and Carl Sentence (Nazareth), each bringing their unique flair to the project. The “Miracles Beyond” lineup includes also the Grammy Award Nominee Ernest Tibbs and the producer's favorite Richard Grisman.
"The album's dedicated to free spirits - the driving force of the progress of humanity. It’s a testament to the spirit of collaboration and the power of music to transcend boundaries. Musically, we offer a good example of what a super-group product should sound like. It's great to have all these musicians on board again. This is Simon Phillips’s 6th album with us, John Payne’s 5th, and Joseph Williams’s 4th. Such a star turnout is a special privilege for me, which again shows that we have another world-class product!" says Milen Vrabevski, MD, producer, songwriter, founder of the project, and the mastermind behind the band.

I love short interview videos like this one. Especially when it's with such awesome musicians. I am so happy to see both John Payne and Joseph Williams back for this new album. I can't wait to hear it 🎶

Looking forward to this. Very happy to see John Payne being on it. I will never forget the shock when I discovered IMP. The mind blowing song "Escape" from IMPIII popped up on YT. That and "We Can" from the same album represent what I most appreciate: The progressive and symphonic material that - to me - is a bit larger than plain rock'n'roll. Those two songs and their kind provide space for John Payne's multi-faceted voice.
