Singer/songwriter/producer PATRICK DRONEY's third full-length project Made You Look arrives July 24 via Warner Records. The album comes after three defining years away — a meaningful pause in a career that spans three acclaimed records (2018’s self-titled EP, 2021’s State of the Heart, and 2023’s Subtitles for Feelings), appearances on late night TV (Seth Meyers, Colbert), and hundreds of millions of streams. Made You Look is both an instruction and an admission at once — a record about paying attention in an era that forces us to always be somewhere else. In a culture built for speed, Droney slowed down, and the music is braver for it, both sonically and emotionally.
Created across New York and Nashville, the album boasts an impressive list of collaborations, including a stunning feature from Kelsea Ballerini (“Math of Us”) and a co-write with Stephen Wilson, Jr. (“Cigarette Break”) — plus key contributions from Konrad Snyder (Kacey Musgraves, Noah Kahan), mixing engineer Jonathan Low (Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams), drummer Bryan Devendorf (The National), string arranger Davide Rossi (Coldplay, Alicia Keys, The Verve), and more.
Droney will be touring the album heavily, folding Made You Look into his growing songbook. He's already played a sold-out three-city run through Nashville, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn this year, with a fall tour ahead that will see him take on storied rooms like the Ryman Auditorium, Brooklyn Steel, and the Belasco Theatre.
Drawing influence from classic soul and roots rock genres, SHANE GUERETTE has only just begun to craft his own retro-flavored sound. Having self-produced three albums since 2022, Shane has built a considerable buzz among both fans and industry alike - leading to millions of streams, multiple tours and festival appearances. Since the start of 2023, Shane and his band have toured relentlessly, opening up for acts such as The Heavy Heavy, Black Pistol Fire, Neal Francis, The Sheepdogs, The Wood Brothers, Black Joe Lewis, & The Stone Foxes as well as playing at major festivals such as Mountain Jam, Rhythm and Roots, Winnetka, and Alternating Currents. Shane and his band are currently on tour promoting the new album released April 17th, Come Along as One, carrying their road-worn blend of soul, rock, and rhythm to audiences across the country. Make sure you keep an eye on what’s next for this rising star.
