Noel Scharis & Jennifer Nettles Release "Love's Still Here" via ONErpm

ONErpm’s Nashville and Latin offices have teamed up to release the duet with hit Argentine singer-songwriter and pianist Noel Schajris and GRAMMY-winning American entertainment powerhouse Jennifer Nettles. Sung in English and Spanish, the lead single, “Love’s Still Here,” is available now and premiered on the Latin Music Awards.
 
This is the first time that Noel Schajris and Jennifer Nettles have joined voices. “Love’s Still Here” is part of the spectacular bilingual ten-song Spanish and English album Timeless that will be released in 2024.

Ya ven aquí... encontremos la manera de recuperar esas ganas de vivir una eternidad... ya ven aquí, ya ven por mi” ("Come here... let's find a way to regain that desire to live for eternity... come here, come for me.”), verses one of the choruses that harmoniously unites the voices of these two Latin and American superstar artists.

Noel Schajris affirmed that "the vocal connection he has with Jennifer is special" and that from the first time they met "everything was magic.”  He shared, “The title of the first single ‘Love's Still Here’ is very appropriate for today's times to emphasize love and timeless music. What an honor to unveil this magical project on the Latin AMAs stage with my sister Jennifer Nettles! Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your voice with me on this adventure.”

Nettles added, “I'm absolutely thrilled to finally offer this very special project to the world! And to do it for the first time at the Latin American Music Awards is a dream. Collaborating with Noel, it was so organic; as if I had been singing and writing with him forever.”

The music video that accompanies “Love's Still Here” was filmed in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, under the direction of Sergio (Teco) Allard, during the darkness and intimacy of the night on a rooftop, with a piano. Watch the video HERE.

"Love's Still Here" debuted at the recent Latin AMAs held in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 25, a Latin music awards show that was broadcast on the TelevisaUnivision Hispanic network.

Darius Rucker Reimagines "Never Been Over" with Jennifer Nettles, Out Now

Already an emotional cornerstone of recent album Carolyn’s Boy from three-time GRAMMY Award-winner Darius Rucker, standout song “Never Been Over” now arrives as a duet with the captivating vocals of GRAMMY Award-winning entertainment powerhouse Jennifer Nettles adding a new dimension to the emotional ballad. Listen HERE.
 
Penned by Rucker alongside Lee Thomas Miller and Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne, the original release of “Never Been Over” was celebrated by Billboard as a flipped perspective to Rucker’s chart-topping “It Won’t Be Like This For Long,” with the reflective song “looking back on a couple’s love nearly two decades later, chronicling years of emotional zeniths and low points, a duration spent raising kids and building a life together one day at a time”:
 
        We’ve been good and bad, hot and cold
        And fightin’ mad, solid gold
        Been sunny days, straight-line winds
        Been drivin’ slow and guilty as sin
        Been back roads lost and blue lights found
        Dead of quiet, rockstar loud
        Been up and down like we’re built on springs
        We’ve been a lot of things 
 
        But we’ve never been 
        Splittin’ up friends, splittin’ up records
        Puttin’ up walls, burnin’ down letters
        Grass is greener ‘cause there’s something better
        Waitin’ down the line
        We’ve never been a headlights weaving, taillights fadin’
        So long, move on, goodbye waitin’
        Never been one last long look across your shoulder
        We’ve been a lot of things, but we’ve never been over
 
“Writing that was very cathartic,” Rucker shared with Garden & Gun of the song. “It was almost like therapy for me. It’s so honest and one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written.”
 
“Now, to have Jennifer add her incredible voice to such an emotional song, you feel even more of what this couple is facing; unravelling the life they’ve built together,” reflects Rucker. “I’m so grateful she agreed to sing on it with me.”
 
“I’ve wanted to collaborate with Darius for such a long time! And when I heard the song, I loved its story,” adds Nettles. “But in addition to its theme of lifelong love, it feels so perfect for Darius and I to sing it together. Both of our careers have grown and changed so dramatically since we each started out. And, as the hook sings, ‘We’ve been a lot of things, but we’ve never been over.’ This song is a beautiful example and extension of that constant evolution.” 

Currently on the road in Europe for a run of solo shows ahead of this summer’s Hootie & the Blowfish Summer Camp with Trucks Tour, Rucker is also preparing to share his first book with fans, a memoir titled “Life’s Too Short.” Set for release May 28, the memoir sees Rucker share the story of his life through the music that has defined it, offering readers an intimate glimpse into his journey from music enthusiast to music icon.
