Dream Higher

Dream Higher, the seventh Pride of Lions album, appeared on 16 June 2023. The import is Frontiers Music's FR CD 1331 and Marquee / Avalon put the Japanese edition out the same day as MICP-11795 — a rare instance of this band's two editions sharing a street date. Ten songs, which by track count makes it the shortest studio record in the catalogue. Jim Peterik is credited on every one of them, with David Fink joining him on "Another Life" and Steve Salzman on "Driving and Dreaming". Two official films went out from the label's channel: a music video for "Blind To Reason" on 11 April 2023 and a lyric video for the title track on 9 May. The Japanese edition adds an acoustic version of "Renegade Heart" for eleven tracks and forty-eight minutes thirty-six seconds. It is also, as of September 2026, the only Pride of Lions album with no Japanese-edition product page on Amazon.co.jp.
