John Oates, previously best known from Hall & Oates, has dropped a new solo song called Get Your Smile On.
Built on a bright melody and guided by Oates' calming vocals, it marks the seventh release in a string of singles from the singer-songwriter. Recent drops include Too Late To Break Fall, Maneater (Reggae Version), a cover of Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World, the Timmy Thomas cover Why Can't We Live Together, and his own tracks Disconnected and Pushin' A Rock.
All proceeds from the new song will go towards Teen Cancer America. Head below to check out its touching accompanying video, which features cancer survivors that participate in the Teen Cancer America Music program. Oates commented:
"Get Your Smile On was yet another song that I wrote during the Pandemic. When I was trying my best to search for any positive vibe I could come up with.. since I had a lot of time on my hands, I began to write using GarageBand on my Mac. It’s usually how I start my song Sketches But it began to come together so well, I decided to really produce the track the way I would have in a professional, recording studio. I played all the instruments, programmed the keyboards and sang all the vocals as well. This is the first time I’m releasing a pure GarageBand production. I’m happy the way it came out and I hope it puts a smile on your face when you hear it."
Teen Cancer America Founder, Roger Daltrey added: "John is a fantastic supporter of our charity and has given his time and talent to helping the young people with cancer that we serve.
"Now he's featuring them on his latest video and donating the proceeds from the single to us. This means so much to me, thanks John, from the bottom of my heart."
Oates will support his new music with US dates in 2024.
