US-based Artist Caleb Hyles (feat. Lacey Sturm, Judge & Jury) Released the Single 'Darkness Before The Dawn' For All Those Who Fight Demons
The Texas born artist CALEB HYLES is glad to share with old and new fans the single “Darkness Before The Dawn”. The song, released on April 21st via Judge & Jury Records, features Lacey Sturm, the co-founder and lead vocalist of the rock band Flyleaf. It is not only a song about finding the light at the end of the tunnel but, most of all, about when you are still surrounded by darkness and the light is yet not visible in your life.
CALEB HYLES stated about the song:
“It's always darkest before the dawn. We've all heard this sentiment before. At its best, it is meant as encouragement. To keep moving forward, to press on. But what about when we're in the darkness? Does this saying even matter? Is this just an empty promise? How do I march towards a promised dawn that I cannot see? This is an anthem for all those still in the darkness. Those shrouded in pain, fear, shame, confusion, struggle. We know that the dawn will come, but for now, let us not think about that. Let's face what's before us. Let's embrace the change. Let's face the demons. Let's fight. Let's carry on in the darkness before the dawn.”
“Darkness Before The Dawn” is the third single from Caleb’s upcoming debut album with Judge & Jury Records, set for release in fall of 2023. The artist has a YouTube channel with over 1.5 million subscribers, featuring his interpretations of songs from Broadway musicals, Disney and Anime, breathing new life in them.
Joining Caleb on the single is Lacey Sturm, the co-founder and lead vocalist of rock band Flyleaf. Howard Benson produced several albums for Flyleaf (“Flyleaf”, “Memento Mori”, “New Horizons”) in the mid-late 2000's along with their 3 biggest songs "All Around Me”, "I'm So Sick,” and "Fully Alive" that were featured on their self-titled debut album. The band split in 2012, but in late 2022 the band announced that they would perform a few shows together, shortly after the release of the single “Darkness Before The Dawn".
