It really is a happy New Year. With a new year, a new month, and a new week comes something brand new from a General Hospital alum. Fans of the multi-talented Jonathan Jackson (aka Lucky Spencer) were treated to new music in the form of a brand-new album.
Best known as a Daytime Emmy–winning actor, Jackson is also a seriously talented musician, and he’s officially turning the spotlight back to his musical roots. He shared the exciting news on Instagram, and trust us, this is something you’ll want to check out. After all, this marks his very first solo album since launching his music career.
Beyond the Band: Jonathan Jackson Explores a Solo Sound
While sharing a reel talking about the new release on his Instagram account, he captioned it, “Happy New Year! My new album Under The Skies of Babylon: Volume One comes out tomorrow Jan. 6! You can pre-order today and listen to all the tracks tomorrow. The first song, Opening Curtain is already available. This is my first solo record… I’m excited to share it with you all! Much love!”
While many fans know Jonathan Jackson as the frontman of Jonathan + Enation, this solo project shows a different side of his artistry. He describes it as “vocally focused,” drawing inspiration from his recent Emmy wins. The sound leans away from his usual rock edge and settles into rich, piano-driven melodies. The lead single, “Opening Curtain,” gives an early taste of the raw, intimate tone shaping this new chapter.
A Multi-Volume Vision
Under the Skies of Babylon: Volume One kicks off an ambitious four-part series planned to roll out over the next few years. And Jackson isn’t stopping at music. He’s also branching into storytelling with a companion novel titled The Bastard of Babylon. Television, music, and books all come together here, making this a creative vision that’s hard to ignore.
Capping off a Golden Year
The album follows a huge year for the General Hospital fan favorite. After a much-anticipated nine-month return as Lucky Spencer in 2025, Jonathan Jackson reminded viewers exactly why he’s so beloved. His brief but powerful run earned him yet another Daytime Emmy, marking his sixth win.
Experience the New Era
Fans ready to dive into this next phase can stream Under the Skies of Babylon: Volume One now on all major platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. It’s well worth the listen.
