Danny Pynes, the Florida-born, Nashville-based artist, is back with "Out of Tune," the fourth single from his highly anticipated upcoming LP Turn Around and Say Goodbye. This track is a perfect blend of alt-country, pop rock, and indie pop, showcasing Pynes' signature storytelling style with a modern twist. Drawing inspiration from legends like Tom Petty, "Out of Tune" is a song about the highs and lows of chasing dreams, where ambition sometimes leads you a bit too close to the sun.
From the very first note, "Out of Tune" sets the stage for a journey that feels both familiar and new. The track opens with a catchy, guitar-driven melody that immediately hooks you in, paired with Pynes' smooth, expressive vocals that carry the weight of his introspective lyrics. The chorus swells with emotion, capturing the bittersweet nature of pushing boundaries and the inevitable consequences that follow.
Pynes' knack for blending genres shines through in this single. The alt-country influences are unmistakable, yet the pop-rock elements give the song a fresh, contemporary edge. It's this fusion of styles that makes "Out of Tune" so compelling—it's rooted in tradition but isn't afraid to step into new territory, much like the story it tells.
Relocating to Nashville in 2019 was a turning point for Pynes, who spent the early years of his career touring across the US and gaining a dedicated following in his hometown of Gainesville, FL. The pandemic years saw him writing for other artists, but his return to his own music has been nothing short of triumphant. With the releases of Hollywood Dream in 2022 and Supernova in 2023, Pynes has been steadily building momentum, and "Out of Tune" is another leap forward.
The upcoming album, Turn Around and Say Goodbye, is set to be Danny Pynes' most ambitious project yet. "Out of Tune" offers a glimpse into the themes of the album—ambition, reflection, and the bittersweet nature of pursuing one's dreams. The song’s storytelling is reminiscent of Tom Petty’s "Into the Great Wide Open," capturing the spirit of chasing something bigger, even when the risks are high.
As Pynes prepares to release his full-length project in 2024, "Out of Tune" stands as a testament to his growth as an artist. It’s a track that resonates with anyone who has ever dared to dream big, even when the path is uncertain.
