Bill Hudson states: āI canāt believe Iām saying this, but itās finally time to unveil Eternal Flame to the world. Two years of hard work, a line-up change, a global pandemic but we did it! This baby is now out there and I canāt wait for all of you to hear it! And to celebrate, we chose 'Future Calls' as the new single! Thereās a very special reason for this: Kai Hansen is a childhood hero of mine and a few years ago we had a chance to become friends. It only made sense to me to have him as a guest on the album, and when he suggested his son Tim Kanoa Hansen came along too, I thought Iād sure love to host a family reunion! I hope the fans enjoy this album as much as we did!ā
