The lead single off the forthcoming new Dan Reed Network album, “Let’s Hear It For The King” is the AC/DC tinged “Starlight”.
‘Starlight’ was partly recorded at Hansa Studios in Berlin, as part of the ‘Origins’ recording sessions, in front of an audience, and their chanting features in the song.
The video was produced and edited by Dan Pred. The band shots (except Dan Reed) were filmed in Portland in September 2021. There are also sequences taken from the Dan Reed Network movie “Supernova”.
There was no physical media release of this single – digital download or streaming only.
The video was released to Patreons at The Stardate Collective 24 hours early on October 20th 2021.
The Fire Artists in the video are Tyler Spades and Zelah Sonada from Portland, Oregon.
The video had over 12,000 views on YouTube within the first 5 days of it’s premiere.
Dan Reed had made pre-announcements before this announcement on Facebook on October 19th 2021.

Here’s a photo from when we recorded Dan Pred’s drum parts on this track and the chant vocals singing the ‘Ahs’ on the intro, break and outro with everyone in Berlin during the ‘Origins’ recording sessions! What a magic day that was recording at Hansa Studios.
