SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS!
"Only Love Is Real" marks a bold and heartfelt debut for saxophonist Alan Darcy, delivering a lush, emotionally rich original composition produced by contemporary jazz luminary Adam Hawley. Blending smooth grooves, melodic hooks, and Darcy's signature alto sax sound, the single is poised to resonate with audiences worldwide.
"I'm all about a strong melody—and this chorus? I couldn't get it out of my head. I kept singing it over and over, so we built the track around this fun hook -something radio-friendly but with depth. One early listener called it 'Feel-Good Sophistication,' and I think that captures it perfectly." — Alan Darcy
The release of "Only Love Is Real" marks a milestone moment for Alan, who is a dynamic performer, songwriter, and vocalist as well. This powerful, deeply personal track delivers an inspiring message that reflects the universal truth in its title: Only Love Is Real.
"Darkness is but a veil; Love and Music, are the flames that lift it-chasing fear, stirring joy, and painting the soul with light. They awaken the strength, joy, and positivity that already live inside you."
With 18 Billboard #1 hits to his name, Adam Hawley brings his signature polish and hit-making instinct to the track, creating a radio-friendly sound while allowing Darcy's expressive playing to shine.
