SONTALK TO MAKE SXSW DEBUT NEXT WEEK AHEAD OF ALBUM RELEASE

NEW YORK, NY (March 1, 2019) – Just ahead of the March 15^th release of Stay Wild, SONTALK today premieres the album’s lead single, “The One Who Breaks Your Heart.”  Available everywhere now, “The One Who Breaks Your Heart” originally premiered this Wednesday on Consequence of Sound, who spoke to SONTALK about the various influences behind the track and applauding SONTALK’s latest as a “gorgeously unsure composition.” Also available today is a live, in-studio performance video for “The One Who Breaks Your Heart,” filmed at Big Light Studios in Nashville, TN – watch here.

Today’s release is the start of a huge month for SONTALK, as he readies Stay Wild for its March 15^th release and continues on tour, with dates at Savannah Stopover festival and SXSW which includes performances at Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion, StubHub’s Sound Stage, and ACL Bloody Mary Brunch.   He will hit the road again at the start of April, supporting Telekinesis on a month-long North American tour, with stops at renowned venues including Rough Trade (Brooklyn), U Street Music Hall (Washington DC), The Basement (Nashville), Café Du Nord (San Francisco) and more.  For the latest in touring news and ticketing information please visit SONTALKmusic.com.

By way of familial candor and visceral vulnerability, the twelve tracks comprising SONTALK’s 2019 full-length debut album, Stay Wild, chronicle musician Joseph LeMay’s journey of self-reflection, discovery, acceptance and, ultimately, growth.  Throughout the creative process, LeMay’s path spanned everything from frequent admittance to the psychiatric ward due to intense bouts with bipolar disorder and a suicide in the family to the birth of his son and ultimately, his creative awakening as SONTALK.  In 2016, LeMay met producer Jeremy Lutito [Chuck Berry, Colony House] at the suggestion of engineer Logan Matheny. Together, they brought the vision of SONTALK to life, recording Stay Wild alongside Matheny at Big Light Studio.  Describing it as, “a series of open letters the main character leaves for his inner child,” LeMay imbues his debut with moments of triumph and despair, tossing and turning between emotional extremes to create an openly honest dialogue with himself and listeners.

ABOUT SONTALK

By way of familial candor and visceral vulnerability, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Joseph LeMay shares personal trials, tribulations, and triumphs in the twelve tracks comprising his 2019 full-length debut as SONTALK, Stay Wild [Sony Music Masterworks].  As an introduction this past April, LeMay released SONTALK: Act I EP, with lead single “I Am a War Machine” garnering praise right out of the gate from the likes of Stereogum, Ones to Watch and Wild Honey Pie.  As he took the project on the road, the track generated over a million streams within a few months. Gearing up for the March release of his debut full-length Stay Wild, SONTALK shared follow-up single “Baby, I’m Gone,” which fuses a stark and soulful vocal with a sinewy acoustic guitar and glitchy beat.  Upon its release Rolling Stone declared the track one of their Best Songs of the Week.  Initially hinting at the expanse of LeMay’s sonic world, the conversation has just begun for SONTALK.
