GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, producer, and guitarist extraordinaire Cory Wong has shared a new song in collaboration with O.A.R. “Hiding on the Moon (Feat. O.A.R.).”
“Hiding on the Moon (Feat. O.A.R.) is taken from Cory Wong’s new studio album, The Lucky One, out August 18. The album was heralded earlier this year by the release of the single “Look At Me (Feat. Allen Stone).”
Wong had this to say about the track:
I’ve been a fan of O.A.R. since I was a teenager.
I have seen them play several times; and when I finally got the chance to hang with Marc and the guys, I knew we’d hit it off musically. I had some time off in New York and Marc invited me to come hang and write in his studio. I had a loop of an idea that I had been sitting on for a while that I shared with him and he said, ‘Let me get a microphone up.’ We wrote the song that afternoon, and I took the tracks and ran with it over the next couple of months. I wanted to add some unique guitar elements to it, so I decided to use some natural harmonics as the opening section, and for the guitar solo, I wanted to channel a combination of…Coldplay/Allman/Mayer. This song ended up being a great collaboration that really features both Cory Wong and O.A.R. in a unique way, and really shows the power of creative minds coming together to make something that we wouldn’t have made independently!
