Erica Lane reimagines a rock classic with "Every Day"

In an industry where predicated trend-following is the norm, Erica Lane has established her new solo single "Every Day" as a sunlit, refreshing modern take on Buddy Holly's definitive rock 'n' roll classic. The hint of a summer breeze in it makes the track even warmer and more inviting, with all that time-baked emotion between Erica's softly lapping tones, taking an immediate reflective pull to what once was and what is now.

"Every Day" was recorded at one of Texas's top studios, Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio in Wimberley, with eight-time Grammy winner Danny Duncan producing. The track strikes a balance between timeless and current, glossy yet incredibly sincere, clean but never sterile. By being a talented singer-songwriter whose delicate touch allows her to reshape the emotional landscape as she sees fit, Lane inhabits it. Her vocals hover like silk over shimmering, sunlit guitar lines and intricate drumbeats, wreathed in modern harmonies that find a delicate balance between darkness and light.

"Every Day" revisited, as though you were being reintroduced to your favorite memory, now bathed in a different shade. This song is a celebration of life and how love can change everything, even for an ordinary person. This is the new and improved standard of all generations, long-lived and enduring. For the days on the beach with bare feet, doing nothing, windows down, driving into longer nights, and lovely slow dancing, "Every Day" touches like sunshine.

The way Laned works with this material is remarkable, and it is rare to see a reimagining that so perfectly marries respect for the original and distinct inventiveness of its own. Her take pays due regard to the DNA of the original, but also infuses her character into a bursting rock and Americana-inspired sound that only a heart can produce. With "Every Day," Erica Lane pays tribute to a standard and kick-starts it, sending it racing. For all those rock, memories, and meticulously crafted reinventions fans out there, Erica Lane is showing us why we fell in love with songs in the first place.
