Here is the compelling new single from Judd Warrick. ‘Into the Dawn’ features an excellent vocal performance from Warrick – there’s just the right amount of weary grit in his voice, an edge to his melodic, soulful delivery that feels authentic and emotional and captures our attention. One of the real highlights here is the exquisite lap steel solo from Evan Coulombe – it flows beautifully from the song’s tuneful currents, while Melanie Shore supplies depth on the Hammond B3 Organ, Wurlitzer and piano. Scott Wiley (Imagine Dragons, The Killers) adds bass and took on production duties. The video for ‘Into the Dawn’, directed by Cameron Gade, is artistically shot and edited, giving us a glimpse of the performers at work in the studio.

Most of Judd's songs come from a melancholy place. “Fascination Die” is uncharacteristically upbeat. It speaks to hope and the excitement of exploring someone’s heart at the beginning of a relationship. What begins as a simple step-down chord progression becomes more powerful when Evan Coulombe adds his iconic pedal steel licks, and Melanie Shore comes in with her solid Hammond B3 organ parts. Now, it’s an upbeat, uplifting wall of sound. Judd says, “I’m incredibly proud of the song and grateful for the growth and wisdom I gained from its evolution.”
