Sonic Keys (Nick Pound) and Aria Cook are set to make waves with their latest single, ‘The Long Way Home’. This electrifying collaboration features a vibrant blend of harmonies, catchy melodies, and polished production that is sure to captivate listeners and leave them eager for more from this dynamic duo.
After Nick came up with the original idea for the song back in 2019, he then approached Aria to collaborate further.Together, they created a unique and compelling track that powerfully showcases both of their talents. ‘The Long Way Home’ reflects on life's hurdles and the pursuit of meaningful aspirations. The folk-pop anthem carries a powerful message: never give up on your dreams, no matter how tough the journey may be. It serves as a reminder to keep moving forward amidst daily challenges and to strive for personal growth.
The collaboration with Aria Cook came naturally after Nick’s admiration for her talent grew from their first meeting at an open mic night at Thirsty Chiefs in Brisbane. Captivated by her voice and style, he attended many of her performances. “She inspired me to start playing piano again,” Nick shares. The two decided to write the song as a duet, and when they first harmonised, he felt instantly that she was the perfect fit.
