Making yet another surprise move in their already illustrious career, Dutch hit duo Lucas & Steve has embarked on The Road To Country with the highly effective, instantly captivating new single “Do It All Again.” It’s a tune that perfectly showcases the guys’ versatility and musicality, employing their background in pop and electronic music to build a certified country pop song, featuring warm, passionate vocal lines, sweet steel guitars and subtle swinging rhythms, transporting you straight to the plains of Southwest USA. Such a remarkable voyage, soundtracked by a true gem in flawless rhinestone colors – out now on Spinnin’ Records.
Having built a solid resume that includes several dance classics as well as timeless pop hits, Dutch duo Lucas & Steve always aimed to surprise its audience. Effectively, both DJ/producers developed a trademark that includes raving festival tunes and tender love songs, exploring warm organic moods and deep electronic sounds – comfortably moving between genres, drawing each vibe into their own distinctive world.
Well, they’ve done it again. Never too shy to make any sudden moves, Lucas & Steve now ventured into the wide world of country music, a genre that’s been around for over a 100 years already, recently gaining new popularity in an excitingly fresh, 21st century pop sound.
Inspired by these new tunes and the all-together atmosphere that goes with country music, Lucas & Steve have embarked on their so-called Road To Country. Fueled by their ever musical curiosity, and the eagerness to explore the most varied genres, they are now making a journey that will take them deeper into the culture of country-pop whilst finding their space within the genre.
“Do It All Again” is the duo’s first effort, immediately showcasing their talent to mix wild west vibes with catchy dance sounds, setting off with subtle guitar licks, reminiscing the smooth rhythms of the country tinged song “Letters” from their 2020 debut album Letters To Remember, together with delicate vocals, touching both a sentimental country mood and catchy pop hooks. Most notably, when the chorus kicks in, the (line)dancefloor is never far away, meanwhile inviting you to singalong with the lyrics, bursting of longing and melancholy.
While gently swaying to the groove, you’ll get a bit of steel guitar and fiddles to liven up the mood, clearly marking Lucas & Steve’s aim to deliver an authentic vibe. Yes, this Road To Country is all about honoring the vintage country sounds, but drenching them in a contemporary production, adding pop and electronic music to create something new and exciting.
In essence, this is what Lucas & Steve are all about. Absorbing music, making it their own, and sharing their view on the genre with something you’ve never heard before. Let’s do it all again, is what you’ll hear them say from under their cowboy hats, while wandering into the setting sun. The future never looked so bright before.
“Back to country. After the success of our country-inspired song ‘Letters’ (on our debut album Letters to Remember in 2020), we always felt like making a follow-up. Country music fits our sound really well and blends perfectly with pop and dance music. We couldn’t be more excited! Especially with the global trend of country-music going on right now, it feels like this is the right time to release our new song ‘Do It All Again’. A song about the stubbornness that comes with love accompanied by addictive melodies. Hope you like it ❤” – Lucas & Steve
