Swiss rockers King Zebra are excited to unveil their new single and official video, "All I Want Is You", out now Frontiers Music Srl.
Originally written in New York in the late 1980s by King Zebra frontman Eric St. Michaels (ex-China) and acclaimed songwriter John DeNicola - best known for his work on the iconic Dirty Dancing soundtrack and recipient of both an Academy Award and Golden Globe - the track remained unreleased for almost 40 years.
Now, in a rare and powerful revival, King Zebra have rediscovered the song, re-recorded it, and brought it to life for a new generation. Staying true to its original spirit while infusing it with the band's signature sound, "All I Want Is You" bridges the past and present in a way few songs can.
The band said: "The spirit and flavor of this romantic song take the listener straight back to the end of the 1980's to a little neighborhood known as Soho, New York. Like renovating a vintage heirloom, we are excited to bring this timeless song to life for all our fans to hear."
John DeNicola shared his thoughts on the release:
"I am excited for the release of our song 'All I Want Is You'. When Eric told me after all these years they would be releasing this song, it just proved the old adage that a good song has no expiration date. King Zebra's version remains pretty true to what we wrote back in the 90's, and they have added their magic to it all these years later and recorded what will hopefully be a contemporary classic."
King Zebra are also set to tear through Germany and Switzerland this month, as special guests on the "Slithering Through Europe" tour with Swedish Hard Rock band The Gems, therefore promising loud nights, high voltage and a band ready to strike.
Hailing from the picturesque city of Zurich, Switzerland, King Zebra is a melodic hard rock powerhouse that has been making waves in the international rock scene since their inception in 2017.
Led by the charismatic frontman Eric St. Michaels, a seasoned veteran in the world of rock 'n' roll, the band has been on a relentless journey to redefine the genre with their electrifying sound.
Eric St. Michaels, originally from the vibrant rock scene of New Jersey, found a new home in Switzerland over two decades ago. His powerful and soulful vocals are best known from his time as the former lead singer of the renowned band China. With King Zebra, Eric has embarked on a new musical odyssey, taking his rich experience and passion for rock to new heights.
In 2019, the band gained international attention with the release of an EP. Since then, King Zebra has performed at festivals such as Rock the Ring alongside legends like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Uriah Heep, and Rose Tattoo, and opened stadium shows for Alice Cooper.
In 2020, they released the album "Survivors", produced by Oscar Nilsson (Crashdiet, The Halo Effect, Hank van Hell), which led to successful European tours and sold-out shows both abroad and in their home country.
In 2023, King Zebra signed a record deal with Frontiers Records. The following year saw the release of "Between The Shadows", accompanied by a European tour with The Gems and a subsequent club tour in Switzerland.
In 2025, the band performed at renowned festivals such as the Riverside Festival, shared the stage with Hammerfall and Kissin' Dynamite, and joined Shakra as Special Guest for their 30th anniversary show at the legendary Z7 in Pratteln. Later that year, King Zebra returned to Bohus Studio in Gothenburg to work on new material.
