New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Following their breakout year, multi-platinum-selling duo
Surfaces - comprised of
Forrest Frank and Colin Padalecki - are back with their latest earworm �Wave Of You,� out now via 10K Projects/Homemade Projects - listen here. Written and produced by Forrest & Colin, the track instantly grabs you with its intimate lyrics building over the breezy, infectious beat.
The captivating song is brought to life in its music video, which explores the feeling of falling for someone and realizing what they mean to you. Partially shot in Malibu, the visual further captures the track�s free and easy spirit. The video will be released at 9AM PST, April 9th.
The release follows a remarkable 2020 for the rising hitmakers- their global smash hit �Sunday Best� was certified double-platinum by the RIAA, with over 2.3 billion streams, they performed on The
Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show with
James Corden, and The TODAY Show. Additionally, they had the chance to collaborate with one of their idols, Sir Elton John, on the single �Learn To Fly.�
When
Forrest Frank sent Colin Padalecki a DM five years ago, no one could have anticipated what the two
Texas college students� music would become. �We both were just doing it for fun,� Forrest says, looking back with a laugh. �When we met up that first time, it was all just to hang out.� For them,
Surfaces was just an idea; the duo�s success�sold-out tours, collaborating with Elton John, playing late night talk shows with a platinum hit single under their belts�wasn�t even a consideration.
But within a year of partnering, Surfaces� music began to take off, connecting with fans around the world who found something special in the band�s blend of buoyant production and �no shirt, no shoes, no problem� energy. Their career began with the release of Surf, their first full-length album that included tracks like �Be Alright,� their first ever single, and �24/7/365� which takes a sample from the bossa nova standard, �The Girl from Ipanema.� The enthusiastic early reactions to the album lead the new college grads to head to a lakefront cabin outside of Austin,
Texas immediately after, where they began writing their second album Where the Light Is (2019).
Where the Light Is features the band�s biggest breakout to date, �Sunday Best,� which began its rapid ascent, peaking at #19 on Billboard�s Hot 100, over a year after its release. The platinum single has since led the band to performances on Late Night with Seth Meyers and The
Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. �When we made the song, we were hoping it would be a safe place for people to feel encouraged and to feel peace,� Forrest says. �We made it for maybe a few hundred people to hear�maybe a few thousand�but not for millions upon millions.�
Horizons, the band�s third full-length album, was released in early 2020. Since then, they�ve gone on to collaborate with Sir
Elton John on the anthemic single �Learn to Fly,� which features vocals and keys from the legendary songwriter. �I don�t know if I just don�t know how big we are, or if we�re even big at all,� Forrest says. �I still just feel like I graduated college and am making beats in my bedroom. I still feel the exact same way. So, for someone like
Elton John to do a track with us? It feels like the king has invited the peasants into the party.�
But as their music career continues to grow, the humble duo is still grateful for every new listener, �to see our music so well-received is mind-boggling. I don�t think I�ll ever be able to fathom that it�s hitting so hard,� says Collin. The duo kicked off 2021 with the release of their latest captivating track �Wave of You,� released on April 9.
