As the second volume focusing on his musical origins, Ace has also grown since "Origins, Vol. 1" was released in April 2016. That album hit #23 on the Billboard Top-200 charts becoming his 4th top-40 and second highest charting solo album — and there's no questioning Ace's productivity with this album being his fifth recorded work in a decade! Ace chuckles, "Since I had one covers album under my belt, the process of doing 'Origins, Vol. 2' was easier because I had put together a formula, picking guest stars and so-on." The challenge for him was to put a suitable personal stamp on the material, and "Origins, Vol. 2" is replete with special touches that both honor and embellish the material.

Ace Frehley's "Origins, Vol. 2" is a well thought out, but not over-thought, album. For Ace, keeping things organic is an important part of crafting an album's atmosphere: "I just let it happen. Things evolve when I start doing these records and I try not to plan too much ahead. I like spontaneity. I like coming up with ideas off the top of my head. It's the same way I write guitar solos. When things are fresh and spontaneous, they always come out better for the listener."

Ace Frehley gets the last word with a direct message to his fans: "I'm happy with the end result and I hope the fans like it as well."
