Staind have released an animated music video for their new single "Better Days" featuring Dorothy, which comes from their latest studio album, Confessions of the Fallen.
According to the announcement, "Better Days," an emotionally charged power ballad that is classic Staind, marks the first time the band has a featured artist on a song. Singer and namesake of LA rock band, Dorothy brings her powerhouse vocals alongside Aaron Lewis, taking the sentiment of the song to the next level.
"This was a departure for me," says Aaron Lewis. "It's really the first time Staind explored a feature with a female guest vocalist. Once we started tracking I could tell the synergy was there. We didn't have to pick harmonies, we didn't have to analyze parts, they just happened. I'm stoked to have Dorothy on this single with me. Her talent and voice are incredible."
"I had a great time tracking "Better Days," adds Dorothy. "It's a beautiful song and I hope fans connect with it. I'm so grateful to Aaron for the opportunity."
"Better Days" is the third rock song released from Confessions of the Fallen. The first two singles "Lowest and Me" and "Here and Now" reached #1 on Active Rock chart.
