Zebra have finally released a song with a KISS connection that goes back decades. “Walk With You,” the group’s new single, was co-written by frontman Randy Jackson and Paul Stanley of KISS years ago, but fans are only now getting the finished Zebra version.
The single leads into V, also promoted as Zebra V, due November 13, 2026. It will be the long-running power trio’s first new studio album in 23 years.

How the Paul Stanley Song Found Its Way Back
Jackson has explained that he wrote the song with Stanley during the China Rain era. The demo stayed in the vault while other plans took over. When Zebra began revisiting material for the new album, the band brought the track back, and producer Jack Douglas helped shape the finished recording.
Douglas is especially connected to the band’s history: he worked on Zebra’s debut record and its follow-up, No Tellin’ Lies. Now he returns for five tracks on the new album.
Still the Same Three Musicians
Randy Jackson, Felix Hanemann and Guy Gelso are celebrating more than half a century together. While many bands from the era have changed lineups repeatedly, Zebra’s original trio has stayed intact. Their new record includes 11 tracks, with longtime concert favorite “Direction” finally receiving a studio recording.
