“I’ll never forget, when we first met, you stole my heart, then we fell apart, let’s try again…” sings Michelle Carter with a captivating timbre, as she opens Attom Darcy Blvd‘s debut single, Let’s Try Again.

The opus expands with a stunning, soulful soundscape with a divine compositional nature, laced with poetic prowess and a tangible authenticity. Released just in time for Labor Day festivities, Let’s Try Again takes us on a nostalgic journey, paying tribute to the golden era of soul with a contemporary twist.

The production showcases instrumental mastery, a credit to the seasoned team behind it. Joe Cruz, known for his work with Carly Rae Jepsen, lends his production expertise, crafting a sound that feels both fresh and timeless. The mix, handled by none other than 12-time Grammy Award winner Josh Gudwin, ensures every element of the track shines, from the emotive vocals to the subtle sonic nuances. The finishing touch comes from four-time Grammy nominee Dale Becker, who has recently worked with Billie Eilish, giving the track a polished yet organic feel.

But it’s the soulful essence of the song that truly captivates. Let’s Try Again is a heartfelt nod to the likes of Etta James and Otis Redding, evoking the spirit of the Stax Records era. Michelle Carter’s raspy, powerful voice is the beating heart of the track, channeling the raw emotion that defined soul music’s golden age. Her performance is complemented perfectly by the expert drumming of Curt “Kirkee B.” Bisquera, whose credits include legends like Elton John and Mick Jagger. His rhythms add a vintage feel that anchors the track in a bygone era, while still feeling relevant today.

Attom Darcy Blvd, spearheaded by musician and actor Mick (Matt Carmody), showcases a deep respect for musical history while forging a path of its own. Mick’s lyrics and melodies are brought to life by this group of exceptional artists, resulting in a debut that feels both timeless and innovative. Recorded at the legendary NRG Studios and mixed at Henson Studios – where Joni Mitchell once recorded – the track seems to carry the weight of music history, with a sprinkling of that legendary stardust.

As a debut, Let’s Try Again sets the bar high for what’s to come from Attom Darcy Blvd. With an EP slated for early 2025, this project is one to watch for anyone who loves music that touches the soul. We have added Let’s Try Again to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from Attom Darcy Blvd.
