Nashville-based pop and soul artist Patrick Droney‘s single “Stand And Deliver” has done just that since it’s debut two weeks ago, notching more than 100,000 streams and reaching the Top 10 on Spotify’s Viral 50 in the U.S. On Aug. 3, this independent Kobalt/AWAL artist will release his self-titled EP. Droney is managed by G Major Management, which also oversees Thomas Rhett’s career.
Friday (July 27), Droney released his latest track, “Always Been The End Of The World.”
“As Springsteen put it, ‘there’s something transformational about a last ditch do-or-die effort. It brings out honesty, sincerity and humility combining it with a willingness to risk it all,’” Droney says of the track. “There’s great comfort to be found in the fact that every generation has had their own version of the end of times yet carried on.”
The just released song was written by Droney, Melissa Peirce and Ben West, and produced by Droney, West and Ian Fitchuk. With tribal drums and buoyant chants, “Always Been the End of the World” questions if bad times are in fact opportunities to shine your light in the dark: “It’s always been the case / There’s always been a flood/ Always gonna say it’s the worst it ever was / I’ll give you my best / Honey that’s what you deserve / Let’s forget the rest / Cause it’s always been the end of the world.”
