Atlantic Records has released two new tracks from Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & The Six; Daisy Jones’ ever popular “It Was Always You,” which she plays on the acoustic guitar with Billy, and the live SNL version of “Aurora.”
Kevin Weaver (President, Atlantic Records, West Coast) shares: “It’s been clear to all of us from the start, how passionate the fanbase is for Daisy Jones & The Six. Never was that more obvious than when the fans took to social media last week loudly campaigning for the releases of these 2 new songs that appeared in the series’ final episodes. In response to this overwhelming demand – and as a special gift to the band’s diehard fans – Atlantic Records couldn’t be more excited for this week’s release of “It Was Always You” and “Aurora (Live from SNL).”
Aurora released to tremendous acclaim from critics and fans alike, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Soundtracks chart, #4 on the Billboard Vinyl Albums & Americana/Folk Albums charts, #9 on Top Current Albums, #10 on Top Albums, and more. Daisy Jones & The Six themselves debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artistschart – becoming the first act from a scripted series or film to do so. (They also became the first such act to hit #1 on the iTunes Top Albums chart.)
The release of Daisy Jones & The Six’s “Special Gift For Our Fans” comes shortly after the release of the Amazon Original version of “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb),” performed by Marcus Mumford & Maren Morris available exclusively via Amazon Music.
Daisy Jones & The Six follows the life of Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), an aspiring musician who sneaks into clubs on the Sunset Strip dreaming of being on stage. The book also chronicles the humble beginnings of The Six, led by Sam Claflin’s Billy Dunne (originally dubbed The Dunne Brothers), who find their big break when Teddy Price (Tom Wright) discovers them playing clubs on the strip. Meanwhile, Daisy is desperately trying to find her own way.
Eventually, the band embarks on their sold-out Aurora arena tour, and by the time they reach the last show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, they are beyond repair. So, The Six decide to go their separate ways, and 20 years later, they finally tell their sides of the story on why exactly Daisy Jones & The Six broke up — including Billy and Daisy.
The series also stars Suki Waterhouse as Karen Sirko, Josh Whitehouse as Eddie Roundtree, Sebastian Chacon as Warren Rojas, Will Harrison as Graham Dunne, Camila Morrone as Camila Dunne, and Nabiyah Be as Simone Jackson.
Both tracks are available to stream wherever you listen to music. All 10 episodes of Daisy Jones & The Six are now streaming on Prime Video.
