LAST MONTH, American rock band Daughtry released new music for the first time since their 2021 sixth studio album Dearly Beloved. The group’s latest offering is the anthemic single “Artificial.” We caught up with the band’s frontman Chris Daughtry in this exclusive interview with Rolling Stone India and talked about the new song, how AI is impacting our lives, his love for India, the group’s upcoming album and more. Read below.
You’re currently on an acoustic U.S. tour with the band, where are you right now?
I’m in Seattle and it’s been a nice day off. It’s been kind of chill, we went to Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee’s grave today. So that was pretty cool.
Have you been a fan of them?
Oh yeah, big time. The Crow was a huge part of my childhood and then of course I got into Bruce Lee after the fact actually. I obviously knew who Bruce Lee was, but I was too young when those movies came out, so I had to kind of go back and get my learn on with Enter The Dragon and Game of Death and stuff. But yeah, I’ve always been a huge martial arts fan in general though. That was a pretty cool moment today.
Your new song “Artificial” is the first piece of new music for the band in two years, what have the last two years been like for you?
A lot of touring. A lot of life, some great, some not so great and we’ve been doing a lot of writing for the new record and we’re back on tour now. So, the record is nowhere close to being finished, but once we wrap this tour up, we’ll get back in the studio and get back to it.
Coming to “Artificial” — what can you tell me about the song itself?
