Nexterday is the seventh and final studio album released by former lead singer and songwriter of The Cars, Ric Ocasek.
The album boasts a more DIY sound than previous albums, having been partially recorded in Ocasek's home studio with him playing many of the instruments himself.[2] Musicians featured in his 1982 debut solo album, Beatitude were used on Nexterday, including fellow Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes, bassist Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains, drummer/programmer Stephen George and guitarist Roger Greenawalt.[3][4] "Silver" was Ocasek's musical tribute to Benjamin Orr. "Please Don't Let Me Down" references the title of the album, Nexterday.
