| Coyle Girelli Partners With KT Tunstall On New Duet Out August 1st Co-Written with Legendary Songwriter Mac Davis, ‘Lost to the River’ Is The Third Single From Forthcoming Country-Folk Album ‘Out Of This Town’ Stream the single here, and pre-order the album here. NASHVILLE, TN — “Lost to the River” is a darkly majestic folk-ballad from Coyle Girelli, featuring duet partner Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, out August 1st via Sun Records. Conjuring up the baroque emotionality of mid-century rock n’ roll that makes classic 1950s ballads so enduring, the track comes alive in a David Lynch-esque video which oozes with unsettling nostalgia. Watch the video HERE stream it here, and pre-order Out of This Town vinyl here. “Lost to the River” is the third single from Girelli’s cross-generational collaboration with legendary Elvis Presley songwriter, Mac Davis. The forthcoming album of songs co-written with Davis, Out of This Town, comes out August 29th on Sun Records, and the 12-song collection will be available on vinyl, CD, and via all streaming services. “The songs I wrote with Mac opened my mind in an incredible way, and I realised this was the type of music my voice was built to sing,” Girelli says. “Lost to the River” presents a hypnotic outpouring of desperation to break out of a small town. Ultimately, the main character’s big city dreams end tragically. “It’s a beautiful song – beautiful melody and lyrics, and it was perfect for the two of us to sing on together,” said Tunstall. “So delicate and haunting. I was very honoured to be a part of such a lovely project with Coyle, who is just so talented. Hopefully, Mac is smiling down on us.” Girelli and Davis met up eleven years ago in LA. The pair sat down with a cup of coffee, a couple of guitars, and a bag of lost, unfinished songs scrawled out on yellow legal pads. Davis saw a kindred spirit in Girelli, and the pair had an instant chemistry. Unfortunately, Davis died in 2020, before the album could be finished. Girelli has revisited this work and produced a masterful album. He also honoured the album’s original duet intent with standout pairings in addition to Tunstall, including Jaime Wyatt and Cassandra Lewis. Out of This Town cinematically captures themes of heartbreak, longing, and restless dreams. It’s the stuff timeless rock n’ roll is about, and it’s only fitting that it will be released on Sun Records, the iconic label once home to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and more.
