John Oates Releases New Song “Mending” featuring Devon Gilfillian
American singer-songwriter and former Hall & Oates', John Oates teamed up with Nashville-based singer-songwriter Devon Gilfillian to release a new song “Mending” on September 20, 2024.
This marks the first collaboration between John Oates and Devon Gilfillian.
The song is his first music since the 2024 album “Reunion” which was released back in May.
As the single, the track is the follow-up to the collaborative song “Hold Each Other Now” with Adam Ezra Group, which was released last month.
The track was written by John Oates and Devon Gilfillian. Produced by John Oates and David Kalmusky.
John Oates said of the song, “I became a fan of Devon Gillfillian the first time I heard him perform in Nashville and sensed the Philly soul right away...we became friends and this song is the first thing we wrote together. My wife wanted to help with some inspiration and pulled a random Tarot card that morning...it was 'MENDING; and we both knew it would be our song title...so proud to be creating with him.”- Devon Gilfillian said, “As a fellow Philly Native, I've been such a huge fan of John Oates since I can remember. Luckily, we've both landed in Nashville at this stage of our lives. I've known he's in town for a while, but I was too shy to reach out. Thankfully, John hit me up a few months ago, and it was magic. The first time we got together to write we got this beautiful song that started from a tarot card that John's wife Aimee pulled, and that turned into this beautiful story of love and repair. It's so inspiring writing with John and I'm so honored to sing with such a legend. I hope “Mending” heals some hearts and makes some more lovin' happen.”
