January saw Texan singer\/songwriter Ryan Hamilton announce his 1221 project, the concept of releasing twelve new songs, one every month across the year of 2021. His initial release was a gorgeous cover of the Spin Doctors \u2018How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me)\u2019, which proved a hugely popular choice with fans and the Spin Doctors alike, with high praise coming from members of the band.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This month\u2019s release – just ahead of Valentine\u2019s Day – is a rockier number, suitably packed full as a box of chocolates with \u201cI love you\u2019s\u201d.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the story behind \u2018D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu, Hamilton explains: \u201cbeing\u00a0in love, and in a relationship is a lot like a dance\u2026 and you need a good dance partner to be successful. When you\u2019re with the right person, whether things are good or bad, having a sense of \u2018I\u2019ve been here before, and I know what this person wants\/needs\u2019 is an important thing to have. That\u2019s what this song is about. It\u2019s about that \u2018dance\u2019, and being able to weather the proverbial storm in a relationship.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Boasting more hooks than a pirate convention, evoking the feel of classic Weezer thrown into a blender with the Killers, D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu instantly has the feeling of a song that will prove a live favourite, once in-person shows become a thing again.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Accompanying the new song, Hamilton sports a dizzying array of looks in his new video, some oddly unsettling, some downright hilarious.\u00a0\u201c<\/i>Firstly, I\u2019ve never had more fun making a video,\u201d\u00a0<\/i>he says.\u00a0\u201cI wanted to portray different people from different walks of life, and love\u2026 But I don\u2019t think I was quite ready for the level of ridiculousness. Haha. But, sometimes you just gotta embrace the fun. I think this is my favorite video I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Using present-day recording techniques over the internet, 1221 sees Hamilton continue to collaborate with UK-based producer Dave Draper. The pair recorded Hamilton\u2019s solo EP of Country covers, \u2018Communique\u2019, during the very first lockdown of 2020, in isolation on two separate continents. Communique proved to be a winning formula, scoring Hamilton his first iTunes No. 1, a feat repeated with his subsequent release with the Harlequin Ghosts, \u2018Nowhere To Go But Everywhere\u2019, an album that also scored high on multiple Official UK Charts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hinting at what future 1221 releases have in store, Hamilton teases,\u00a0\u201cI am LOVING the diversity, and freedom of this \u20181221\u2019 project. I\u2019ve been in touch with some of my favorite music friends, and I\u2019m excited to let folks know about upcoming collaborations. But, I better not say anything just yet.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
Until then, let\u2019s experience a little D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hamilton was recently heralded by Spin magazine as one of the \u2018Best Lesser-Known Artists of the Last 35 Years\u2019.<\/div>\n
\nEach monthly \u20181221\u2019 track will be released digitally across all regular platforms for download and streaming via Stevie Van Zandt\u2019s \u2018Wicked Cool Label.<\/div>\n
