Lane, Alaina are "Dancin' In The Moonlight"

Friday, June 10, 2022 – Chris Lane and Lauren Alaina combined voices for the very first time on all new duet "Dancin' In The Moonlight," out today.

The new tune, written by Jesse Frasure, Sherman Kelly and Brett Tyler, and produced by Joey Moi, is a riff on the King Harvest song released in 1972 with a country pop twist.

"I'm so excited to have new music to share today alongside one of the most talented, fun people to work with, Lauren Alaina," Lane said. "The first time I heard this take on 'Dancin' In The Moonlight,' it was a demo I kept listening to on repeat. It sounds like summer to me and feels like the kind of song you want to put on when you're on the boat, at a bonfire, grilling or hanging with the people you love. I love the classic feel it has, and I love that I get to share it with my second-favorite Lauren. Can't wait for you to hear it, and to perform it all summer long."

"I am beyond honored to be a part of 'Dancin' In The Moonlight' for so many reasons," Alaina said. "The original is one of those songs that lives on for many generations. Everyone knows the original. I am excited to be a part of a new take on such an impactful and iconic song. I absolutely love the way it turned out. It's an added bonus that I get to sing it with my buddy, Chris Lane. He is such an amazing man, artist and friend. The song gets stuck in my head, and I actually want to listen to it myself. That's a rarity for me. I have high hopes for what this song will do for us, and I am overly grateful to be a part of such a special interpolation to such a hit. Hopefully, we can make it a hit again."

Alaina is no stranger to duets. She has sung "What Ifs" with Kane Brown; "Thinkin' About You" with Dustin Lynch, and "Blame It On the Whiskey" with Jon Pardi.

Lane and Alaina have released a time-hopping official music video directed by Justin Clough and shot at Nashville's speakeasy-style bar, Old Glory. Spanning four different eras – the 1920s, 1950s, 1970s, and today – the clip features film roll-style featurettes showcasing the singers dressed to the nines in decade-specific staples, dancing and narrating the duet.

CD reviews

CD review - Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World Lauren Alaina is flat out delightful. The bubbly Southern belle charmed her way into the genre via American Idol as a 15-year-old high schooler. Randy Jackson stopped her less than three minutes into her audition to put her through to Hollywood. Her third studio album, "Sitting Pretty "On Top of the World" begins with the best song she thinks she's written. "It Was Me" starts with a soft acoustic intro and is an apology and a confession that she should take the ...
CD review - Getting Over Him Lauren Alaina made her national name on American Idol (placing second to Scotty McCreery). But she really seems best fitted for "The X Factor." There's something elusively compelling in how the Georgian's positive, eager attitude shines through, even in small doses. It was on full display when she appeared in a 2020 Thanksgiving halftime concert for the NFL. Alaina was only on stage a minute at most. But she elevated the duet with Kane Brown with those high-octane octaves, then ...
CD review - Getting Good Lauren Alaina's "Getting Good" may not measure up to a traditionalist's high standards, but as a pop-country compromise, it's pretty darn good. Whether it's the fiddle running through the proving-I'm-country "In My Veins," or the banjo underpinning "Somebody Else's Problem," Alaina puts just enough country in these six songs to consistently touch twangy pleasure centers. "Getting Good" is the EP's best song. ...
