Byron Bay Indie Folk songstress Shai Rose has just released her intoxicating new single called ‘Lost’, which premiered exclusively via AAA Backstage.
‘Lost’ is the final single taken from her forthcoming debut album called ‘The Road’ that comes out on Feb 21.
“In this chapter I realise that I’m Lost, there’s no footsteps behind me, nowhere to go. I understand that it’s time to stop being scared of the dark and just let go. It’s time to face what I really feel, stop running from my fears because the only way to find the light again is through the dark.”
The story of ‘The Road’ speaks to anyone who’s had their heart broken and chose to get back on their feet without someone holding their hand. It speaks to anyone who stops looking for the answers externally, who dares to get lost in the dark to find the light again, on their own.
The multitalented songstress released the first taste of her debut album last year in the form of single ‘Follow The Sun’ and has since followed up with singles ‘Long Ago’, ‘Broken Pieces’ and ‘No Escape’.
New single ‘Lost’ is available on all major online stores and streaming services
Behind the name and the music is Canadian singer-songwriter Dany Horovitz, known for his ability to captivate audiences with memorable melodies and vivid storytelling. Dany’s newest project, Way About You, collects his singles to date, including the album’s title track “Way About You” – a vibrant, banjo-infused pop song showcasing his evolution as an artist.
Produced around an infectious riff reminiscent of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up,” “Way About You” hooks listeners from the start with its joyful banjo, catchy melody, and beautiful harmonies at the chorus. The song began as a casual “throwaway” piece but soon became a standout track thanks to the fresh ears of Dany’s producer, Calvin Hartwick. After a college engineering session where the track was played live, Calvin insisted it had to be recorded and brought in composer Matthew O’Halloran as a co-producer.. Now, it’s one of Dany’s favorite songs.
Collaborators on “Way About You” include Sean Royle, a celebrated Toronto studio musician and arranger, and Eric Vanier, whose stellar drumming brought energy to the track. The banjo, played by Sean Royle, added a unique and irresistible layer that completed the song’s sound.
Stonehocker’s latest single, “In Need,” explores the raw, emotional journey of realizing one’s need for a higher power. The song is an introspective reflection on the lows that come with struggling against the challenges of life and the self-awareness that emerges from surrender. A blend of motivational alternative rock with a light, meditative tone, “In Need” is a powerful reminder of the peace and hope that comes when we let go of the need for control.
The track is the third and final release before Stonehocker’s highly anticipated upcoming album. It embodies the themes that run throughout the record: acknowledging one’s struggles, finding a greater purpose, and surrendering to the process. “In Need” builds on Stonehocker’s deeply personal songwriting, drawing from his own battles and ultimate surrender to a higher power.
