‘Leave Each Other Alone’, a stunning duet from platinum-selling, multi-award winner Jess Moskaluke and multiple Golden Guitar Male Artist of the Year and CMA Global Artist Award winner Travis Collins is available at radio today. ‘Leave Each Other Alone’ is the latest release from The Demos, which dropped earlier this year to critical acclaim, and features Moskaluke’s first ever number one hit ‘Country Girls’.
“’Leave Each Other Alone’ was originally written as a solo track, but the thought always lingered in my mind that it could be really magical as a duet,” says Moskaluke. “Usually when I have these thoughts, I immediately have an artist in mind, but this time was different. I had no idea who would or could deliver this song with the passion it deserved. It wasn’t until I was introduced to Travis Collins during a promotional trip to Australia, where I heard his incredible voice and in that moment, knew without a doubt who the song had to feature. I’m so thankful Travis loved this song as much as I do – he really took it to the next level!”
Says Collins, “I met Jess Moskaluke at C2C Festival in Australia in 2019, doing a songwriter’s show together. We hit it off like old friends and I became an instant fan of her voice and songs. Fast forward a year and she sent ‘Leave Each Other Alone’ to me, asking if I’d be interested in singing with her on it. I loved this song before the first chorus even hit my ears, and knew it was something I wanted to be part of.”
