Song: "Back to the Sea"
Album: When the Clock Strikes Midnight
Label: HonkyTonk Fairytale Music

In Their Words: "The video for 'Back to the Sea' — shot on location in Charleston, South Carolina — re-interprets the theme of a return to a longed-for place from the past, following the experiences of an out-of-place mermaid searching for a feeling of belonging. Photographer, musician, and former Charlestonian Scott Simontacchi shot and edited the video, capturing a breathtaking sense of discovery in a beloved setting with his unique artistic eye. My dog, Cracker Jack, makes a cameo at the beginning for good measure." — Violet Delancey

Artist: Violet Delancey
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Song: "Lost Along the Way"
Album: When the Clock Strikes Midnight
Release Date: February 19
Label: Honky Tonk Fairytale Music

In Their Words: "'Lost Along the Way' explores the nature of love as it changes with the passing of time. The new album contains songs that orbit around a coming of age theme, and this song examines the fall from innocence experienced with the loss of love. Co-written with producer Brent Truitt and featuring guitarist Bryan Sutton, the song tells a tale as old as time with a sound that echoes music from decades gone by." — Violet Delancey
