John Vento And Nied’s Hotel Band Follow 9/11 Tribute With Updated, Remastered Fan Favorite

“We’re Just Fine” has been remastered, featuring newly recorded backing vocals. It follows the band’s #1 international iTunes hit “The Day the Lady Cried.”

“The track really showed off the band’s R&B roots, but it never received the traction that was expected. It was always a fan favorite, especially at live shows.”— John Vento

Music veteran, John Vento and his longtime blue-collar rock co-horts in Nied’s Hotel Band have been releasing their impressive catalog of music since 2004, when Vento and Buddy Hall released “Nied’s Hotel Archives” and 2007’s “Nied’s Hotel.” Three more full-lengths would follow, including 2007’s “The Way That You Roll,” 2014’s “One Night Stand,” and the 2020 compilation, “Nied’s Hotel 2.0.” The latter two included the original version of the fan-favorite, “We’re Just Fine.” Now, Vento and company have updated the track with newly recorded backing vocals and a crisp new remaster.

On March 18th, 2022, MTS Records will release Nied’s Hotel Band’s new version of “We’re Just Fine.” The song was written by John Vento and Tim Hadley, with production by Hadley and Klint Macro, and additional production by David Granati. It is the follow-up to the band’s #1 international iTunes chart hit, the 9/11 tribute, “The Day the Lady Cried.”

“The track really showed off the band’s R&B roots, but it never received the traction that was expected,” said Vento. “It was always a fan favorite, especially at live shows. Over the past few months the band decided to dust it off a bit, add some more background vocals and remaster the track for a new 2022 release.”

Lyrics – “We’re Just Fine”

You’ve been through some bad stuff lately
But you worked it all out
You’re headin’ for some good times baby
And there aint’ no doubt

Now a brand new day, brings a brand new light
Throw that shit in the sea, leave it all behind
Unlock the love in your heart, just let it shine
Sing it out to the world, you’re just fine

You’re just fine now baby
Fine now baby

Most people said that we weren’t gonna make it
But we proved em’ all wrong
They hit us hard, and then they tried to break us
But our love was way too strong

It was lookin’ bad in the eye of the storm
Winds of power and might meant to do you harm
Through the love of great friends we stood arm and arm
Sing it out to the world you’re just fine

You’re just fine now baby
Fine now baby

I know there’s nights when you feel so alone girl
We live two separate lives
But remember those nights when we were hand and hand
I’ll always be by your side, baby I’m your man

I’ll never let ya down, gonna take a stand

Sing out to the world, that we’re just fine

We’re just fine
Were just doing fine now baby
We’re Just doing fine

REYA RIU releases debut single “Say It”

Rising Indo-American artist REYA RIU has just launched her first single, “Say It,” a beautifully emotional alt-pop ballad. The song feels like a heartfelt conversation in the quiet of night, making it more like a personal diary entry than just music. It moves slowly, but every moment is filled with deep feelings that resonate long.

“I kept replaying the moments in my head where I could’ve said something,” REYA reflects, and you can feel that familiar ache of missed opportunities. Her voice is both delicate and strong, evoking the intensity of artists like Billie Eilish alongside the warmth of Raveena and the global rhythm of Naïka.

REYA pulls you into her world with soft melodies and soothing sounds. The gentle electric piano sets a dreamy atmosphere, enhanced by live sitar and tabla recordings from India that connect the song to its cultural roots while giving it an international touch. There’s a sense of anticipation throughout the track, like waiting for someone to say what’s been left unsaid for too long.

“Say It” captivates, the music and the quiet spaces between the notes, the feelings of regret, and the emotional aftermath that linger on. With “Say It,” REYA RIU shows that being open about her feelings is her strength.
