![]() GRAMMY® Award-nominated genre-defying songwriter, producer, podcast host, and guitarist extraordinaire Cory Wong has shared his new single, “One Way Road (Feat. Yam Haus).” The 80’s retro-leaning pop anthem in collaboration with the Minneapolis-based indie-pop trio Yam Haus is the fourth song released from Wong’s upcoming album, Lost In The Wonder, set to arrive on February 3, 2026. “One Way Road (Feat. Yam Haus)” is streaming everywhere now. LISTEN TO “ONE WAY ROAD (FEAT. YAM HAUS)” PRE-SAVE LOST IN THE WONDER PRE-ORDER LOST IN THE WONDER VINYL
Lost In The Wonder was initially heralded with the release of the album’s hook-heavy and irresistibly catchy first single “Tongue Tied (Feat. Stephen Day).” The crisp yet dreamy mid-tempo title track, “Lost In The Wonder,” followed last week. In mid-December, Wong shared the jazzy disco track, “Blame It On The Moon (Feat. Magic City Hippies).” A national headlining tour, featuring special guests Devon Gilfillian, Stephen Day, and Marc Scibilia, is set to begin in April, with confirmed performances in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Austin, and more. The full itinerary is below. LISTEN TO “TONGUE TIED (FEAT. STEPHEN DAY)” LISTEN TO “LOST IN THE WONDER (FEAT. BENNY SINGS)” LISTEN TO “BLAME IT ON THE MOON (FEAT. MAGIC CITY HIPPIES)” Lost In The Wonder spotlights Wong’s remarkable gifts as a producer, writer, arranger, band leader, and master of modern pop craftsmanship, while of course never losing sight of his trademark guitar virtuosity. The album further affirms Wong’s enduring love of musical collaboration, boasting a truly eclectic range of guest artists, including Taylor Hanson, Devon Gilfillian, Cody Fry, Yam Haus, Louis Cato, Ellis, Elysia Biro, Theo Katzman, and Magic City Hippies.
“There are lots of sides to me as an artist,” says Wong. “A lot of people know me as a guitar guy, or even more specifically, ‘rhythm guitar guy’. That’s an accurate description, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. I see the guitar as just one of the avenues for my music and creativity. It’s been an absolute joy to develop and form a signature sound as a guitarist, but a huge part of my artistry is in my production/writing/arranging/band-leading. I’ve worked on and honed those skills just as much as my guitar playing, so I wanted to make an album that really showcased that side of my creative expression. Does that mean there’s less guitar on this album than on others? No! It’s actually quite the opposite. I feel like some of my best guitar work is done on this album. There’s everything from my classic rhythm guitar sound to multiple layers of orchestrally arranged guitar to blistering solos when the music calls for it. “I think anyone who’s a great producer/writer/arranger also really likes to collaborate with other people because it gives you different colors and textures to ‘paint’ with. My aim is to showcase different sides of my artistry by putting several collaborators in front of the music and having me build the world that it lives in.” Photo Credit: Taichi Nishimaki Wong – who just wrapped up a series of historic live performances in China and South Korea – will celebrate Lost In The Wonder with a non-stop global live schedule that includes headline shows, top-billed festival sets, and more.
