Singer-songwriter Royal Wood has spent years perfecting his craft of balladry and pop music. His new album, THE WAITING, appropriately begins with a song entitled “You Can’t Go Back” — and why would he? With each new release, Royal Wood delivers another collection of heartrending and honest tales of love, loss and life more impressive than the last. It now seems more than ever that Wood has found his voice. “This record is about the duality of life and how at times, I seemingly waited for the mirrored experience to return,” says Wood. “I went through so many severe shifts personally and all of that turbulence led to serious thought and reflection. That is why these songs were born and why they are my most personal and introspective to date.”
