Nashville-based band Faithless Town returns with “You Are the Sea,” an intimate meditation on a formative relationship, the passage of time, and the experiences that shape who we become.

Written by frontman Gene Owens, “You Are the Sea” moves between memories of youth and the realities of adulthood—old habits left behind, people lost along the way, relationships that have changed, and a new life built in their wake. Rather than romanticizing the past, the song embraces the complicated emotions of remembering someone with both tenderness and distance.

At its core, “You Are the Sea” explores how people can remain part of us long after our lives have taken separate paths—and how the past continues to influence the person we become.

Musically, the track pairs Owens’ earnest vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonica with Rya Morse on harmony vocals; Dakota Holden (Lukas Nelson) on pedal steel; Jonah Krull on piano; Mark Weber on baritone guitar; Mark Brown on B3 organ; and Darren Dodd (Stephen Wilson Jr.) on drums.

Produced by Dan Dixon and Gene Owens and recorded and mixed by Dixon, with additional recording by Jonah Krull, “You Are the Sea” unfolds through a spacious, organic arrangement that gives each performance room to breathe while keeping the song’s emotional core front and center. Pete Lyman (Ella Langley, Zach Bryan) handled mastering.

LAURA SCAGLIA BRINGS PARIS TO LIFE WITH NEW SINGLE “PARIS” ON NOVEMBER 20

Swiss-Italian singer transforms a melancholic composition into an energetic, cinematic rock journey through the City of Light.

International singer and performer Laura Scaglia is set to release “Paris,” a vibrant, cinematic rock track celebrating the mythology, freedom and larger-than-life spirit of the French capital.

Originally written by Richie Marston, a friend of executive producer Peter Mckenzie and musician, producer, Michael Muller, the song was conceived as a melancholic ballad. After Marston sadly passed away in December 2025, Mckenzie suggested Muller revisited the composition. Michael transformed it into an energetic, forward-driving rock song that contrasts its reflective lyrics with an explosive musical arrangement.

Rather than telling a traditional love story, “Paris” makes the city itself the main character. From sidewalk cafés and Cognac to artists painting on the Left Bank, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, the song captures Paris through the eyes of an outsider fascinated by its beauty, freedom and possibility.

The chorus adds a playful twist with the repeated declaration that “Paris is passé,” while the narrator remains captivated by the city. One of the song’s most striking lines describes the paintings in the Louvre and the view from the Eiffel Tower as “the closest things to love I ever knew,” connecting love not to romance, but to art, beauty and experience.

The song’s transatlantic spirit is reflected in its creation: a Paris-inspired composition written by an American, reimagined by a New York producer, performed by Swiss-Italian artist Laura Scaglia and recorded with New York musicians in Brooklyn.

Known for her powerful voice, contagious energy and magnetic stage presence, Laura brings a unique international perspective to the track. Trilingual in French, English and Italian, she has built a career spanning music, live performance and film.

Laura began her professional career between New York City and Toronto, later participating in Swiss emerging-artist programs including La Gustav and Helvetia Rockt – Female Band Workshops. She has performed at major venues and festivals including the Montreux Jazz Festival, while her 2024 multidisciplinary concept album The Rise earned 17 international festival selections and three awards.

Her voice has also been featured in The Fuse, a film that qualified for the 2024 Oscars. In 2025, Laura returned to New York to record the two tracks that form her forthcoming EP ”Wherever I Land”.

With “Paris,” Laura Scaglia transforms the City of Light into a spirited musical postcard — proving that, despite what anyone says, Paris is anything but passé.
