Press release blurb: ‘Drugs’ is the second song unveiled from East’s highly anticipated new album, Maybe We Never Die, which will be released August 20th and is now available for pre-order.

His third release for Elektra/Low Country Sound, Maybe We Never Die takes the Alabama-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter’s seductively vintage voice in a decidedly fresh direction. Collaborating once again with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb along with longtime bandleader and now co-producer Philip Towns, the 12 tracks flow together with an overarching sense of urgency but maintain distinct musical boundaries.

The energy toggles between a hunger for vulnerability in togetherness and a clinging to solitude as a romantic self-defense. There is consternation with the speed and volume at which the world operates and solace to be found in the simple act of getting up and going.
