Listen To The Blues-Soaked “People Gonna Talk” By Chambers DesLauriers
Bobby Caughron 
No matter what they say, your journey is yours alone. ‘People Gonna Talk’ is about
trusting your steps, not their whispers.” – Chambers DesLauriers
Annika Chambers & Paul DesLauriers, aka the dynamic duo Chambers DeLauriers, are excited to announce the forthcoming release of their new album, Our Time To Ride, on August 22nd via Forty Below Records
Our Time to Ride, was recorded at Studio MixArt in Montreal by producer Eric Corne (John Mayall, Sugaray Rayford, Joe Louis Walker), with further recording at Eric’s Forty Below Studios in L.A. and Sound Arts in Houston, TX. It blends deep blues roots, soulful R&B melodies, and riff-driven rock with heartfelt storytelling, raw emotion, and dynamic musicianship. Rounding out their sound is their touring rhythm section, Gary Davenport on bass and Sly Coulombe on drums. Keyboard duties were handled by Sasha Smith and Jesse O’Brien, horns by Mark Pender and David Ralicke, and background vocals by Corne and Nicoya Polar.
The basic tracks were tracked live off the floor in Montreal, capturing the raw energy and chemistry of a Chambers DesLauriers performance. “Eric made sure we were all super comfortable, and things flowed,” says Paul. “We had the luxury of feeling like we were just playing live.” Once the foundation was laid, lead guitar, vocals, keyboards, horns, and background vocals were layered in. Annika recalls Paul recording most of the solos for the album in one night. “He was in the zone. They were asking him if he needed to take a break, and I said, ‘No, just let him keep going, he’s on a roll!'”
The new single, “People Gonna Talk,” is an upbeat, groove-heavy mix of country, blues, and rock ‘n Roll; this track is all about staying true to yourself. With a feel-good vibe that calls for line dancing, it reflects today’s judgmental world and encourages listeners to let go of the noise. Imagine Mavis Staples meets The Rolling Stones – a blend of soulful grit and rock swagger that creates an anthem for living authentically.
