Very exciting. Wesley B of Wesley B's Beach Blast on 107.9 WNCT-FM in North Carolina tells us the song was very well received. Pat Gwinn debuted the song on one of his many radio shows last week. It was played on all sorts of other radio shows as well. It also debuted at #10 on the Beach Music Dirty Dozen on Spotify. We're really happy with the response.</p>

"Coming Back for More" is a big hit with our audience test. "I really love how smooth this beat is honestly and how it makes me just want to sway my hips," one listener said. "Sound production sounded amazing," said another. Another commented, "The singer had just a magnificent tone of voice. His tone was absolutely perfect and his singing voice was just great."</p>
<p>"Coming Back for More" is now available everywhere.</p>Chadwick Stationtag:www.chadwickstation.com,2005:Post/66023442021-04-12T21:07:35-05:002022-04-25T19:44:21-05:00It's coming this week!<p>Chadwick Station's latest beach music single, "Coming Back for More," comes out this Friday. In addition to the great song there will also be a fun video. Love to shag? You're gonna love this music video. Even if you just love to watch people shag, you're gonna love this music video.</p>
<p>Now, you folks in the UK are going, "What kind of lewd band have I stumbled upon?" The shag is a dance. (Get your mind out of the gutter) It's the state dance of both North and South Carolina. When it's done right, it's a thing of beauty. The shag figures prominently in the new music video from Chadwick Station.</p>
<p>Of course, you need to pre-save the song on Spotify to be one of the first to hear it. Just go to:<br><a contents="https://li.sten.to/ComingBackForMore" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://li.sten.to/ComingBackForMore" target="_blank">https://li.sten.to/ComingBackForMore</a></p>

This single is more of the flavor of Louis Prima or some of the older beach music songs from the '50s. Audience tests on "Coming Back for More" were through the roof. "I honestly loved the track. It had me dancing and out of my seat," one reviewer remarked. "Definitely the kind of song to beach party with," another said, adding, "I could see the shore line, BBQ, and old stereo while listening."</p>
<p>This is a fun and engaging track. A bit of a departure from what Chadwick Station has produced thus far, but as another reviewer put it, "This is a hit!"</p>Chadwick Stationtag:www.chadwickstation.com,2005:Post/65046942020-12-14T12:50:00-06:002022-05-31T08:25:53-05:00Another week at #1!<p>Cryin' Ain't Gonna Win Her Back spent the second week at #1 on John Hook's Beach Music Top 40.</p>

<p>We dropped a notch on The Wave Countdown with Eric Bowman from #15 to #16.</p>Chadwick Stationtag:www.chadwickstation.com,2005:Post/65046932020-12-07T12:45:00-06:002022-04-25T19:46:28-05:00We did it!<p>Wow!

The song also took a U-turn on The Wave Countdown with Eric Bowman, going from #24 to #19.</p>
<p>The big news is we hit #1 on Don Mark's Surfside Top 20!

We're still waiting to hear where we landed on Don Mark's Surfside Top 20 on WTOB, but we understand from the folks at Beach Music Cafe on Facebook that Cryin' Ain't Gonna Win Her Back was the Lighthouse Lookout Song of the Week on The Wave Top 30 Countdown with Eric Bowman.</p>
<p>Also, there's been some buzz that an earlier release from our Waiting for a Sunny Day EP might qualify as Carolina Beach Music. You decide. Here's the YouTube link:</p>

<p>Make sure you join our email list. We're working on our second single release and we want to keep you informed. We're toying with the idea of doing an A-side and B-side, like they used to do <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/9784/5ec253438208ba9a7982ef6b360997e72603e288/original/beatles-picture-sleeve.jpeg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpeg" class="size_m justify_right border_" />when 45s were released. The cover would be like an old picture sleeve, if you remember those. If not, we've included an example from the Beatles.</p>

<p>The airplay for <em>Cryin</em>' has begun. We understand the inimitable <a contents="John Hook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://jukinoldies.com/john-hook/" target="_blank">John Hook</a> spun our tune on his 'Dancing on the Edge' radio show this afternoon. John is a legend in the Carolina Beach music world. He's written numerous books on the subject and on Shagging (which always gets a snicker from Brits like us). We understand we're set to be featured on his Beach Music Top 40 program tomorrow, which is exciting. That airs from 3 until 6PM Eastern on <a contents="Jukin' Oldies" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://jukinoldies.com/" target="_blank">Jukin' Oldies</a>. We'll be tuned in!</p>
<p>Also, a shout-out to David Vaughn III for featuring us on his <a contents="Local Artist Showcase" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.wtzq.com/show/local-artist-showcase/?fbclid=IwAR0RvfeqF73aHwh6fRfMLhj-uvxrMceJWfB4jakRDugFrCgzVIKPHVDSAcE" target="_blank">Local Artist Showcase</a> on WZTQ-AM/FM in Hendersonville, NC.

<p style="text-align: justify;">After 7 long years without new music, Chadwick Station is finally back. The music industry has changed quite a bit since then. We hope to be on the forefront of a new trend. We hashed this out over several years, and we've just come to the conclusion that albums and EPs are no longer practical. We look at the way you consume music and they no longer make sense.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Time was when an artist worked diligently to assemble a roster of songs into what was called a concept album. The only problem was very few artists actually followed a concept. Record companies demanded 12 songs for an album, so they gave them 12 songs, regardless of their quality or relevancy. What you ended <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/9784/ea5ed31684a0f72cb31e89cff490a51f600e69ca/original/cryin-aint-gonna-win-her-back-cover.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_" />up with were two or three songs worthy of being released as singles, and the rest were simply filler. You charge the customer for an album just because you can, but you only give them a handful of solid songs that they want to listen to over and over again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We're putting our foot in that revolving door.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We're making you one promise. We will work tirelessly to create the best song we possibly can before we release it. If we get to the end of the process and it doesn't meet our standards, then you'll never hear it. We're not going to force filler on you, just good, solid songs you want to hear. That's why we've decided to release just singles. Each song will stand on its own merits. Somewhere down the road we may release an album of your favorites, but they'll all fit one "concept." You loved them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We're certainly not the first to release a single before an album, but we may be the first to release singles instead of albums. That hasn't been done in the music industry on a wide scale since the 1950s and early '60s.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, we start this trend, or restart this trend, not because we want to guide the music industry, but because we want to be honest with our fans. If a song doesn't live up to our rigorous standards, you'll never hear it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With that in mind, we introduce <em>Cryin' (Ain't Gonna Win Her Back)</em>. You'll notice a distinct late '60s/early '70s R&B vibe to this record. We didn't go in search of a vintage R&B hit. It came to us. The hook literally came to Alvis Kensington (lead singer) in a dream. He bolted from his bed and ran to his home studio where he sang the hook into a microphone before he dared forget it. The next day, we started with that hook, laid down the remarkable bass groove, added some drums, then turned the horn section loose. Alvis filled the holes with wonderful lyrics and there you have it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It's one of those songs that when we got to the end we all looked at one another and knew we had something special. We hope you feel the same way. If so, please share this song with your friends, your family, your co-workers. It's one of those ear worms you can't quite get out of your head. And we hope you never do.</p>Chadwick Station
