New Single: Soraia - My Sharona(Cover The Knack)

Philly Rockers SORAIA Release Cover of The Knack's "My Sharona"; Tour Dates Announced

Philadelphia rock band Soraia has released a new cover of The Knack's "My Sharona", the follow up to their 2021 single "Tight-Lipped" which cracked the Billboard charts all the way up to #23 and gained support from commercial Active Rock stations around the country, including WMMR (Philadelphia), WRIF (Detroit), WRAT (New Jersey), WDHA (New Jersey), KCAL (Southern California), KFMA (Tucson, AZ), WWSK (Long Island, NY) and SiriusXM's Underground Garage channel, among others.

Of the new cover, vocalist ZouZou Mansour says, "We were going to tour Sweden for the first time in October 2021, and I wanted to record something fun with a Swedish producer. I was driving along listening to a playlist, and I heard The Knack's 'My Sharona" pop on.

 I loved singing it and felt energized with a kind of fire, so that was the obvious choice for me! The band was down to do it, so we had Sulo Karlsson produce the track the night before going in and banging it ooout in one day in the studio. It was fast, fun, and easy!"

Soraia is:

ZouZou Mansour - Lead Vocals, Tambourine

Travis Smith - Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals

Mike Dudolevitch - Lead and Rhythm Guitars, Backing Vocals

Brianna Sig - Drums, Backing Vocals

John Hildenbrand - Keys
