Canadian rock/Americana band Working Royals encapsulate the warming nostalgia of long-lasting bonds on new album Cross Country, a 11-track collection spanning Americana, classic rock, country, and folk influences.
Crafted as a love letter to the band’s three-decades long friendship, the album is perfect blend of holding fondness for the past, living in the moment and looking forward. Each track is shaped with a sonic touch that feels comforting. Timeless yet underscored by a sense of experimentation, the expansive guitar-led project immerses us in tales of long-distance friendship, family, and second chances.
One stand-out track is “Jenny,” which delivers the perfect showcase of the album’s heartwarming musical core with anthemic guitars and catchy beats underpinning soaring vocals. With a groovy chorus and uplifting lyrics delivered with plenty of charm, this vibrant, feel-good number wraps around us with a familiarity that has us singing along in seconds even if it's our first time listening. While some of the other tracks on the album such as “Time,” “We are the night,” and “Colors to love,” offer up more tender, slower sonic moments, “Jenny,” is laden with an easy-going exuberance that draws us into the project with the idea of how joyous nostalgia can be.
Tracing the journey of the band as they’ve grown together, drifted apart and found each other again, Cross Country is deeply personal yet brilliantly relatable to almost anyone listening.Delivering us a reminder to rekindle an old bond and giving us hope for what might come of it, Working Royals celebrate the power that friendship holds on on this latest production.
