Singer-songwriter Will Deely, formerly of City Lights, is ready to climb the ranks of the alternative scene by teaming up with Third String Records for his debut record, What Keeps You Warm. Streaming exclusively below is the first single and lyric video from the record, “Badge Of Honor.”

The song is emotional, it’s transparent, and most importantly…it’s downright catchy.

Deely’s vocal delivery is memorable and soothing — if the rest of his new record is as poignant as “Badge Of Honor,” then fans are in for a true treat on this debut. Deely had this to say about his new signing and record:

Very excited to announce the release of my debut EP, ‘What Keeps You Warm,’ and my signing with Third String Records! It’s been a tremendous pleasure to work with Mike Ziemer and his team to get this record out. It’s a really great feeling knowing such great people are as passionate about my music as I am. I’m very ready and eager to share what we’ve been working so hard on with everyone that is willing to listen!
