Song Premiere: Chapell Debuts ‘Heroes,’ Featuring Members of Train

Chapell is a fast-rising artist from New York who has his debut album coming out March 4. His new single “Heroes” features Sakai Smith and Nikita Germaine of Train and the great Prairie Prince on drums. It was also produced by Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads.

Yahoo Music is excited to premiere the track for fans to get a sneak preview of his sound.

The song has a profound inspiration, as Chapell explains: “The Deepwater Horizons oil spill had a profound effect on me. I remember a feeling of helplessness as I watched millions of gallons of oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico for days, weeks – even months! And after a time, oil gushing into the Gulf sort of became the new normal – where it wasn’t even the primary topic of discussion for many people. And I thought to myself, is nobody watching this but me? Where’s the outrage? Where are the heroes?”
