Hale commented:
“Chris Daughtry and I have been threatening to unleash a duet for years. What better way to do that than by paying tribute to one of our mutual influences…. Journey!. This song is not only part of the ‘Stranger Things’ soundtrack, but has been my go-to for karaoke for as long as i can remember! I’m so honored to have been a part of this and I hope it makes you smile as big as I did while recording it!”
Daughtry added:
“I’ve always loved the song and I was wanting to do a classic cover and my wife and I were watching the ‘Stranger Things’ season finale and there’s this incredibly intense scene and ‘Separate Ways’ was a big part of this scene. It was so moving just the way it was used, it felt so cool and epic and I was immediately like ‘THIS is the one! We have to cover this song.’ Then I was, like, ‘How can we make this extra special? What if it was a duet? What if we got Lzzy on it!!??’ Needless to say I was pumped she said yes and I absolutely love how it turned out.”

Daughtry has premiered a new video for his song “Heavy Is The Crown.” You can check that out below:
Chris Daughtry previously commented:
“No one truly knows the responsibility of any one given person.
We all possess heavy responsibilities of our own castles, our own families, our own worlds and circles. So it’s easy to look elsewhere and think someone has it better or believe that one is less significant than the next person. But we are all as significant as it gets.
When you really see that you are 100 percent responsible for your life and the vision you want to come to fruition, that’s heavy. However, it’s also liberating to know, you are fully in control of that, while also being aware of the burden that comes with carving your own path and not conforming to societal norms.”
Daughtry has joined forces with Sevendust’s Lajon Witherspoon for a cover of Temple Of The Dog’s “Hunger Strike.” You can check that out below. Proceeds from the track will go towards Feeding America.
Daughtry commented:
“Chris Cornell is one of the defining voices that grabbed me by the heartstrings and made me want to be a rock singer. ‘Hunger Strike’ is one of, if not the most iconic rock duets of our generation. It’s the whole ’90s wrapped up in one song. Doing this song with Lajon, one of my favorite humans I’ve had the pleasure of calling friend and brother, means the world to me.”
Witherspoon added:
“What an honor to be a part of this incredible song and to work with my brother Chris Daughtry and the boys. This to me was a musical movement in our community and still to this day in the world.”
