A debut record is always a special and delicate time in every artistic career. Moreover, it also takes a decisively large amount of courage: sharing what is meant to be personal self-expression with a wider audience can be scary at first. In the case of Amsterdam-based creative DeLaney, such an effort takes the name of ‘The Story’, a mellow, evocative country-rock ballad drenched in meaningful lyricism and shiny guitar tones.
Citing the likes of Dylan Gossett and Oasis as his primary influences, DeLaney reveals a rather international taste profile, something that’s obvious in the single. Built over nostalgic band-powered tones and relatable, catchy songwriting, ‘The Story’ is intensely introspective and personal, delving into the young talent’s own experience and painful memories.
Speaking about the creative process behind the track, DeLaney explains: “This song was born out of a period of self-discovery, heartbreak and growth, which gave me the inspiration to explore themes of self-love, resilience, metamorphism.” We are confident it will empower and inspire many listeners too. Looking forward to seeing what’s next,
