Dan Sultan Shares Single 'Fortress' Featuring Julia Stone

Australian alternative musician Dan Sultan shares “Fortress (feat. Julia Stone),” the final single from his upcoming fifth studio album, Dan Sultan. “Fortress” was written with Julia Stone and Joel Quartermain and is performed alongside Julia Stone. Dan and Julia's vocals perfectly complement each other, dancing around beautifully layered production to create one of the album's finest sing-along moments. The lyrics tap into the idea of being safely tucked away in a fortress, untouchable from the outside world.

“Fortress is about my family home and that in times of upheaval and uncertainty it’s becomes the strongest and most fortified place in the universe. A place of peace and power and ultimately love. It was close to being finished when we asked the amazing artist and my dear friend Julia Stone to take part. With her beautiful contribution we knew we had something special.” ­– Dan Sultan

“Dan is an extraordinary artist and also a dear friend. When he asked me to collaborate on ‘Fortress’ I was so excited. Not only did I love the sound of the song but the feeling and message in the lyrics. Finding our place in the world with people who we trust and love… a fortress when the wild storms of life rage through. Was an honour to be involved on this track.”­ – Julia Stone

Dan Sultan’s anticipated fifth studio album, Dan Sultan, is due for release on August 18 via Liberation Records. Following the album's release, Dan will support Vance Joy across the US and Canada (including performances at iconic venues Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Central Park and The Ryman).
