Quick Facts Destination Anywhere, Studio album by Jon Bon Jovi ...

More information Review scores, Source ...

The production and style for Destination Anywhere departs from the hard rock sound of his albums with the group Bon Jovi, such as featuring drum loops, female backing vocals and Jon Bon Jovi himself singing in a lower register in most of the tracks. Only one of his longtime bandmates, keyboardist David Bryan, contributed to the album; though Desmond Child, cowriter of hits such as "Livin' on a Prayer", plays the tuba in the song "Ugly" and is also one of the producers.^[9]

During the production of the album, the daughter of Bon Jovi's former personal manager Paul Korzilius died. "August 7, 4:15" is dedicated to Katherine Korzilius.
