Kicking off another chapter, powerhouse singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist extraordinaire Patrick Droney returns with a dynamic, self-penned new single entitled “Go Getter,” available now via Warner Records.
The concept of time threads the narrative of the song, underscored by the lyric, “Playing with time ‘cause you know that it knows better,” which sets the tone for the accompanying video directed by Gus Black. The visual creates the conceptual connective tissue that will link what’s to come.
The track highlights his constant progression as an artist, reaching new creative heights with each release. Sparse piano rings out between his stirring line, “I want to reach through a tear in the sky.” Soon, an electronic beat kicks into gear, and his soulful refrain takes flight with an affirmation, “There’s more down the road ‘cause you know you’re a go getter.”
Droney builds the track into a skyscraping guitar solo, boosted even higher by choral harmonies. Sonically, it integrates rock, blues and classic soul all at once. About the track, Droney adds: “Imagine watching the trailer for the movie of your life—a reel tethered across the timeline. Some scenes are instantly recognizable and others strangely familiar—like you’re remembering ahead. I wrote “Go Getter” asking Time the question, ‘What does it mean to remember?’ When you connect two frames, I believe there to be a correspondence. This song is the spark of that journey down the rabbit hole.
It was important to me to make sure the visual reflected real backdrops in my movie. Making this video, my close collaborator Gus Black and I adventured through personal landmarks in New York City and hometown of Lancaster, PA. In the process, I had some true revelations. For me, it’s proof that if you go and meet the moment, you’re reminded it’s been waiting for you all along.”
“Go Getter” follows in the wake of the recently released “I’ll Be By Your Side.” The track paired with a feature in the CBS series “Fire Country” this past February and has amassed over 1.6 million global streams.
In between writing new music, Patrick Droney captivated audiences with performances at a Super Bowl LVII pre-game event, in the UK with The Eagles at Hyde Park and The Vamps at the O2 Arena, plus a string of sold-out headline dates. This summer, Droney will grace the stage of Hinterland Music Festival in Saint Charles, IA on August 5 and Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival in Franklin, TN on September 24.
