“I’m
beyond excited to share this new single with everyone,” said Hayes.
“I’ve been on such an incredible journey this past year, not just
musically but personally as well. There’s always been that next goal to
reach, whether it was a single or an album or an arena tour, and this is
the first time I’ve really been able to kind of step back from all of
that and just let my instincts and creativity flow. I’ve waited a long
time to get this new music out, and ‘Yesterday’s Song’ really captures
that free feeling, that joyous realization that you’re moving on and
starting this fresh, new chapter.”

An
innovative artist who pushes boundaries both creatively and
technologically, Hayes is constantly exploring non-traditional avenues
to share music with fans however and wherever they are able to consume
it, most recently rolling out a series of songs entitled The 21 Project
via streaming services and a limited edition three-disc collection
showcasing the metamorphosis of each song from acoustic to studio to
live recordings. Eager to share his new music with fans, Hayes again
turned to social media and streaming services to introduce the three
songs from his forthcoming studio album.

In early reviews, Rolling Stone Country
calls the single a “hard-driving, Keith Urban-like rocker, with some
Lenny Kravitz-inspired guitar” and observes that “Hayes is moving on to
embrace a new tune and letting go of ‘yesterday’s song’ – a clever,
totally appropriate way to introduce this surprisingly turbo-charged
number.” Taste of Country notes that the sampling of new music
reflects “Hayes’ growing maturity, not only in his vocals and lyrics,
but his musical proficiency. Of course, the multi-instrumentalist’s
guitar solos are masterful, but the production and composition of each
song are a testament to his true talent.”
