Darren is no longer 'Outside Looking In'

CARDIFF, Wales - Sept. 1, 2023 - PRLog -- Hot on the heels of his last single, "Unconditional", multi-award winning Welsh, singer/songwriter Darren Parry has a brand new single waiting to be heartedly embraced by the listeners again entitled... "Outside Looking In".

"Outside Looking In" was written via Zoom in 2022 with the award winning songwriter Rachel Walker Mason (currently working with Grammy nominated artists, Emmy Winners and judge for Sky One's NTA nominated Sing: Ultimate A Cappella). Rachel had heard some of Darren's songs and got in touch to write. Darren says... "it was great that I was on Rachel's radar, we had a lot of fun writing this and wrote 90% of it in about a 2 hr Zoom call. I think we had a second short Zoom call to tidy up some loose ends, and voila... it was done! I had the chorus idea going around my head for over a year or so before I played it for Rachel and it struck a chord with her, so that's the idea we ran with".

The song was produced by young, hip, Swansea based producer... Dai Griff Productions (BBC Radio Wales A list producer/artist).

Darren has toured the world, performed with household names, written songs with/for... The Korgis ("Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime"), Dazzle Music (Charlotte Church), Steve Balsamo (Meatloaf, Slash, Cliff Richard) and won some of the biggest songwriting contests in the world, including being The UK Songwriting Contest Champion (Pop), Billboard awards and twice USA Song Of The Year Contest runner up!

This collaboration between two great songwriters has them manifest a positive, upbeat, slick, contemporary Pop track that sees Darren really showcase his 3 and a half octave vocal range! Darren says..."I wanted this song to have a universal message. The song is for anyone and everyone who feels they have ever been 'outside looking in', i.e. feeling that the world has brought them down, that the challenges of life are difficult to overcome".

Darren continues..."there is a scene in the film 'Trading Places' (I love that film) where Dan Aykroyd, looking cold, hungry and wet is in the rain, looking through a restaurant window at those inside laughing and enjoying themselves. It's a real metaphor for what many of us have experienced, that of feeling not part of something, not achieving your true potential. It's a song about realising that you always had wings (even though you didn't know it) and now it's time to open them and fly! Now is the time to have that confidence... it's your time to shine"!

"Outside Looking In" is out everywhere on Fri Sept 29th.

From his forthcoming new EP... "Learning The Hard Way"
