Writing a “hit song” with Greg Wyard

Toronto singer/songwriter Greg Wyard is thrilled to announce the release of his latest song, “Suddenly Everything’s All Right.” This track presents a refreshing blend of sounds, reminiscent of Phil Collins infused with the timeless charm of Motown. With its heartfelt lyrics and captivating melody, the song takes listeners on an exhilarating journey of love, discovery, and unyielding optimism.

The song’s central theme revolves around a man’s triumphant realization of finding his true love after an arduous quest, only to discover that she had been there all along, silently waiting for their paths to intersect.

The song’s spirited rhythm section, characterized by an infectious piano arrangement and jangly 12-string guitars creates an irresistible groove that will have audiences swaying and singing along in no time.

Fans of Greg can look forward to the official release of “Suddenly Everything’s All Right” on July 28, 2023.

Greg shared the songwriting and producing processes behind his new song, and Blair Packham filled in for Neel. Thanks Blair!
