Lost Saints Bring Three-Part Harmony to Anthem, “The One,” Available Today

Ramping up their quest to put three-part harmony back in modern country, emerging trio and Two Hats Music Group artists, Lost Saints share a better-late-than-never tribute to true soulmates in the new single, “The One,” available today. Listen Below.
 
Co-written by Dave Turnbull, Lonnie Fowler and Zach Dyer, the lucky-in-love anthem features the breathtaking harmony blend of a striking new group, plus a sunset-country blend full of gratitude and grace. 
 
All about the romantic discovery of a lifetime, a story of missed beginnings and living for the moment unfolds over rich pop-country production, revealing a modern-Nashville power ballad with timeless appeal.
 
Comprised of Afton Addington, Chris Biano and Derrick Casteel, the breakout country trio blends a silky-smooth contemporary sound with the soul-piercing magic of voices locked in sonic embrace, reviving one of the format’s core tenants – all but lost in recent years. 
 
“We do love a ballad,” Addington says about “The One.” “This was originally a song that Dave Turnbull wrote for his wife, which is really cute. It started out as a solo song, and then we went into the studio and were like, ‘Maybe this could be more of a duet – a his-perspective, her-perspective kind of thing.’ It stretched us a little bit, but we just love it.”
 
“Yeah, we knew it was his real story, so we had to nail it, and we tried our best to make it great,” Biano adds. “I’m married so I could resonate with the idea of not getting to share some of those early memories with someone but getting to be the rest of their life and see how those things create the person you love. It’s a timeless message that I think is said in such a cool and unique way.”
 
“I really love the production on this one, for sure,” Casteel notes. “Even aside from the main chorus harmony, there is so much cool stuff peppered into the background.”

Marking the next step forward for the emerging vocal phenoms, “The One” was produced by studio-guitar legend Ilya Toshinskiy, and follows the invigorating 2024 standout, “I Wanna Let You.” 
 
Set apart by their true-trio status (with each member on equal vocal footing), the group has spent years crafting an easy, all-natural vocal blend. Fusing the silky sheen of contemporary country with grassroots ‘90s authenticity and the rich, vivid harmony of the classic format, they began turning heads in 2020 through a series of self-styled singles and are now poised for a breakout with much more music – and news – to come. 
 
Stay tuned as Lost Saints have officially found their way.

Dela Kay Releases Gritty New Single: "The One"

Alt-Pop artist, Dela Kay, has just released her highly anticipated new single, “The One,” today. This single follows the success of her debut EP, Falling Into Place, which dropped in July and introduced fans to her unique blend of heartfelt storytelling and alt-pop soundscapes. "The One" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of trying to make a relationship work, only to face heartbreak and betrayal.

Reflecting on the song’s personal themes, Dela Kay explains, "Sometimes the people we love most aren’t ready for the kind of relationship we’re looking for. We’re forced to

walk away, even if it ‘hurts too much’ or even if we thought they were ‘the one.’" The song, co-written with her friend and producer Stefano Pigliapoco, captures the anguish of holding onto what could have been, while recognizing the need to let go.

Sonically, "The One" channels high energy and angst, but it's also filled with love and longing. With gritty guitar lines, driving drums, and a rock-infused bassline, the track brings the perfect balance of emotional weight and musical grit. Dela Kay’s favorite part? A stripped-down acoustic chorus that harkens back to her Nashville roots, offering an emotional break in the lyrics before the song crescendos in full force.

"The process of making this song was so therapeutic," Dela Kay shares. “I’ve come to be in a much better place now, and it’s empowering to look back on my journey.” She hopes this song will resonate with fans who have felt similar heartbreak, adding, "Sometimes the best way to heal is by healing out loud." With "The One" marking Dela Kay’s first release since her debut EP, fans can expect to see even more sides of the rising artist as she continues to work on new music. "I’m really excited about the new songs I’m writing," she says. "This release is just the beginning, and I’m ready to share even more of myself with my fans through this next project."

MORE INFO:
Dela Kay, who hails from the vibrant music scene of Nashville, TN, draws inspiration from artists such as The Maine, Maggie Lindemann, Paramore, and Avril Lavigne. “The One” follows the success of her debut EP, Falling Into Place, with singles that have amassed over 771K streams and secured a spot on Shazam's Best New Music Apple Playlist. Dela Kay, who identifies as a songwriter first and foremost, believes that this phase of her career is her most authentic to date. With a commitment to releasing a series of singles throughout the rest of this year, she is determined to leave a lasting impression and make her mark on the music industry with her unique voice and perspective.

In 2014, her electro-pop style began to emerge through a collaboration with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and producer, Femke Weidema; which eventually led to her first electro-pop/European-infused single release, “9 out of 10,” as Dela Kay in 2016. Named by Earmilk as an artist who was gifted “with a rich, distinctive vocal style” for her 2018 release of “Make You Mine,” Dela Kay went on to continue releasing singles and garnering hundreds of thousands of streams. In 2019 Dela Kay released “All My Love” through Sony Music, which ended up charting 49 on the top 150 global artist charts for Digital Radio Tracker as well as in the top ten for the Top Independent Charts. The release of “Think About You” shortly followed, which ended up becoming Dela’s highest-streamed song to date with almost 800k streams and counting. After a brief hiatus, Dela Kay marked her return by debuting a new, more alternative sound in 2021 with the release of “The Worst Part,” via Wonderland Magazine.

Taking Back Sunday Return With "The One" — WATCH

BELOVED ROCK BAND SHARES FIRST NEW TRACK IN FOUR YEARS — LISTEN HERE 

BAND ALSO SIGNS TO FANTASY RECORDS

HEADLINING SAD SUMMER FEST BEGINNING JULY 6

Today, rock powerhouse Taking Back Sunday — John Nolan (lead guitar, piano, vocals), Adam Lazzara (lead vocals), Shaun Cooper (bass), and Mark O'Connell (drums) — shared a brand-new track and video entitled "The One," the multi-platinum selling rock band's first new music in over four years. An inspiring declaration of love, hope, and acceptance, "The One" is a soaring reminder to seize the moment and live your dreams while you still can.

Listen to "The One" here.

In the track's accompanying video, directed by DJay Brawner, the band primes for the next gig and new roads that lay ahead — inviting us along for the mystery ride.

Watch the official video for "The One" BELOW

Produced by Tushar Apte (Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj), and mixed by Neal Avron (Twenty One Pilots, Bleachers), "The One" finds the influential rock band flexing its creative muscles and evolving its sound without ever losing sight of the explosive riffs, affecting vocals, and epic choruses that has resonated with their audiences for so long. The anthemic new track also marks the band's first release for Fantasy Records, the L.A based indie label who signed the influential quartet to a world-wide recording contract earlier this year.  

"'The One' is a sweet love song — full on John Cusack holding a boombox," the band says in a nod to the classic '80s cinema moment in Say Anything. "We've been waiting a long time to share this song and we're so excited that we finally can. We hope you love it as much as we do."

On the track's deeper meaning, the band explains, "This song came from a riff that Shaun Cooper wrote the day he lost his grandmother while she was in a nursing home at the start of the Covid pandemic. Devastated with overpowering sadness, he found comfort in writing music and initially titled the riff 'Posivibes' in an effort to find some light through the darkness. He never shared the story of the title or how that riff came together with us until after it was complete. Shaun didn’t want his story affecting the ultimate meaning of the song, because it’s actually an uplifting one."

Taking Back Sunday is set to hit the road this summer for a nation-wide tour (they are calling "Rad Summer"), that includes headlining the 16-date Sad Summer Fest 2023 through July and a plethora of additional dates in August and September. Find tickets HERE and the full routing below. 

For over two decades, Taking Back Sunday have cultivated a massive, dedicated fanbase built around music that reverberates with supreme sincerity, desire, and connection. Originally from Long Island, NY, the band brought mature songcraft and pop sensibilities to punk's rigid conformity, helping expand the genre's contours while carrying the band to new heights.
