New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Straight No Chaser has released their seventh studio album today featuring 16 genre-spanning new songs alongside twelve entertaining conversational interludes wherein the nine members of
Straight No Chaser trace their unlikely rise from an undergraduate singing group at
Indiana University to a beloved Atlantic Records act with a devoted international fanbase. Along with "Motownphilly/This Is How We Do It," the LP sees SNC doing what they do best with distinctive takes on classic pop and soul favorites, including Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca," Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way,"
James Brown's "Papa's Got a
Brand New Bag," and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman." "
One Shot" is perhaps highlighted by a richly harmonized version of
Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" in which the hard-touring group expresses their deep yearning for the comforts of family life. The touching companion visual shows footage of the group on tour mixed with some personal home videos of their families. The video had its premiere recently via USA Today.
Straight No Chaser has had an amazing decade. Ten years after turning a collegiate hobby into a recording career that has taken them around the world on tour, the a cappella group tells its story through music on ONE SHOT. A decade of singing together professionally has also been the ultimate bonding experience for the singers. So much of what
Straight No Chaser has done over the past 10 years is the stuff of dreams: they've collaborated with Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder,
Elton John and Dolly Parton. They've performed on national TV early in the morning on Today, and long after dark, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They have also gone on to amass over 100 million YouTube views to date and have sold over 1.6 albums in the US alone.
Straight No Chaser are now celebrating the release of "
One Shot" with an epic headline tour. "The One Shot Tour" is currently underway and will continues through the year, culminating with the group's annual New Year's visit to Hawaii. For complete information and ticket availability, please see www.sncmusic.com/tour.
