The Project links with Mykele Hill

Coming out of California’s music scene, The Project, led by James Davis, is a new endeavour from accomplished talents. With a legacy rooted in the Southern Californian rock scene, James Davis, acclaimed lead guitarist of the 2000s sensation Shameless, has rallied a group of seasoned musicians to form a supergroup that promises to make a lasting impact.

Having secured accolades like Best Hard Rock Band at the Southern California Music Awards in 2006 and Best Metal Band at the Inland Empire Music Awards in 2006 with Shameless, James Davis is no stranger to success. Now, with The Project, he is embarking on a musical journey that fuses the best elements of pop and rock.

While additional surprise members are set to join the ensemble, the band has already proven their mettle with lead vocalist Jeff Plant, a familiar face from Shameless, and the skilled drummer Andre Bonter, renowned for his contributions to Pump5. October last year saw them drop their debut single “Best days” which they followed up with sophomore track “Over you” in December.

Now they bring us their latest release with their third single titled “whats it going to take,” this time linking up with Mykele Hill on the song. Mykele Hill, a budding artist who found solace and expression through songwriting during a challenging phase of her life, brings a refreshing perspective to the collaboration. Her music, grounded in an optimistic outlook on the human experience, serves as a cathartic bond between the artist and the listener. After honing her recording skills on GarageBand, Mykele is set to unveil her own original releases in 2024.

With “whats it going to take,” The project and Mykele Hill serve up an epic pop-focused rock outing full of sing-along hooks, grooving rhythm and slick guitar-based instrumentation. Opened by the soft jangly tones of clean guitar, the gentle strike of drums ushers in James Davis’ emphatic vocal leads, delivered with power and conviction as they thread alluring melodies.

Launching into the chorus, his voice soars as Mykele’s vocals join the mix to craft an enduring sound of instantly catchy rock music, capped by stunning lead guitar work. Capturing a nostalgic blend of retro rock while filtering it through the artists’ modern styles, “whats it going to take” is a truly charming and memorable anthem that sees The Project continue to go from strength to strength with their third single.
