ALLEN STONE SHARES NEW SINGLE & LYRIC VIDEO “NATURALLY”
(Toronto, ON – March 11, 2019) – R&B/soul singer-songwriter Allen Stone has released a new single and accompanying lyric video today for his song “Naturally” via ATO Records. Written with the impending birth of his first child in mind, Stone explains, “The inspiration to release this song comes from having my first child. In this journey that is about to commence we are choosing not to find out the sex of the child until the day of. Whichever bits this kiddo comes out with, we want he or she to arrive into a world where women are celebrated. Judged not by their physical attributes but rather the fiber of their traits. I hope the world of the future nourishes and cherishes all women.”
2018 was a banner year for Stone which included his marriage in Australia, an appearance as a guest mentor on American Idol ” in April, and the release of three new singles including “Brown Eyed Lover” “. His performance of the song “Unaware” on American Idol led to more than 15,000 sales of the digital single and more than 5,000 album downloads in the weeks following, while “Brown Eyed Lover” broke into the Spotify Viral Charts and made it to #11 in the U.S. Stone’s songs currently have over 50 million plays on Spotify.
Stone followed the release of “Brown Eyed Lover” with the Lidell-produced single, “Warriors in June, performing the song during ABC’s broadcast of the Special Olympics opening ceremony in Seattle, backed by a 2000 member choir [watch]. In October, he released his third single of 2018, “Taste Of You” feat. Jamie Lidell, which was inspired by Aretha Franklin’s “Say A Little Prayer”.
