Far From Saints have shared their debut single.
Let’s Turn This Back Around serves as the first preview of the new project from Stereophonics' Kelly Jones, and a forthcoming as-yet-untitled album, co-written by Jones and duo Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of American band The Wind And The Wave.
With influences spanning country, rock, folk and Americana, with mixing from the Grammy-nominated Al Clay, the song finds Jones and Lynn trading verses from opposing perspectives of loved ones left behind. Head below to view the accompanying video directed by Jones.
Patty said: "It was important to us to have both perspectives in that song," while Jones added, "Let’s Turn This Back Around particularly lends itself to being a duet."
Earlier this week, Jones revealed during an interview on Radio X that the new Nashville-style venture doesn't mean the end of the Stereophonics. He said:
"There’s no breaking up for the band or anything. It’s like for me, after 25 years of doing it and all that work, I wanna show other sides of what I want to try creatively."
"I've got a bunch of songs I’ve got for [Stereophonics] and I’m keeping them in the back pocket until we’re ready to do it again," he added.
Stereophonics put out their most recent album, 'Oochya!', in 2022.
