New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Donovan Woods� �Without People� album was built on intimate experiences while made so piecemeal. Today (3.26), he shares �Without People (Deluxe),� which includes two new original tracks and two reimagined versions of previously released songs from the album praised by World Cafe, NPR/KUTX, Rolling Stone, Billboard, American Songwriter and many others. The �Without People (Deluxe)� is available here: orcd.co/withoutpeopledeluxe.
Along with the album, Woods launches Without-People.com, an interactive online experience where fans have access to new visualizers from the deluxe release, all of the �With People Project� art videos, and they�ll be able to learn about each diverse �With People Project� artist including their top three recommendations from their locations across the globe.
The
Deluxe album includes a song that fans have been craving since the �Without People� album was released � a full version of the radio-ready interlude "When The Party's Over,� which he wrote with Tom
Douglas (John Michael Montgomery, Martina McBride,
Miranda Lambert) and
Travis Wood. It also boasts the never-before-heard song "Break Somebody�s Heart,� which is storytelling at its finest, honing in on specific small town life moments that teach greater lessons of love and loss.
�Grew Apart,� a song that Woods recorded solo and with country artist Logan Mize which together accumulated more than 15 million streams, gets a haunting piano transformation that compliments its lonely nature. Woods gives students a chance to sing together virtually on "Whatever Keeps You Going (feat. J.P. Robarts P.S.
Music Project),� when he learned they were not allowed to sing in school due to COVID protocols.
�This deluxe version of the record is really in-place of what live shows might�ve been like if the pandemic hadn�t happened,� says Woods. �Among my favorite parts of playing live are presenting songs in a different context and introducing new material.�

Travis Wood)
