Straight No Chaser has released their new music video for "Homeward Bound" off their new studio album, "One Shot," out November 2nd. The touching visual shows footage of the group on tour mixed with some personal home videos of their families. The video had its premiere yesterday via USA Today. "One Shot", the seventh studio album from the group, is available now forpre-order and all pre-orders will be accompanied by an instant grat download of the LP's first single, an energetic mash-up of Boyz II Men and Montell Jordan titled "Motownphilly/This Is How We Do It." Additionally, the group also released the audio to "When A Man Loves A Woman."
"One Shot" is perhaps highlighted by the richly harmonized version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" in which the hard-touring group expresses their deep yearning for the comforts of family life. "We all rallied around 'Homeward Bound' because it really spoke to life on tour," says Randy Stine, a founding member of Straight No Chaser. "We are loving what we're doing, loving that we get to do this as a career. It's still a pinch-me moment, every day. But there's always a bit of you that's missing home. Especially with all of us being parents now, it's that much tougher when you leave."
"One Shot" features 16 genre-spanning new songs alongside seven entertaining conversational interludes wherein the nine members of Straight No Chaser trace their unlikely rise from an undergraduate singing group at Indiana University to a beloved Atlantic Records act with a devoted international fanbase. Along with "Motownphilly/This Is How We Do It," the LP sees SNC doing what they do best with distinctive takes on classic pop and soul favorites, including Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca," Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way," James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman."
Straight No Chaser will celebrate "One Shot" with an epic headline tour. "The One Shot Tour" gets underway October 26th at Prior Lake, MN's Mystic Lake Showroom and then continues through the year, culminating with the group's annual New Year's visit to Hawaii.
