Daughtry is an American rock band formed and fronted by Chris Daughtry, who first rose to prominence as a finalist on the fifth season of "American Idol." After his stint on the show in 2006, he declined an offer to be the lead singer for the rock band Fuel and instead formed his own band with a self-titled debut album. Daughtry's eponymous first album was released later that year and was met with commercial success; it included hits like "It's Not Over" and "Home." The band's combination of melodic rock and Chris Daughtry's distinctive, gruff voice quickly garnered a loyal fan base and established them as a force in the rock genre.

Over the years, Daughtry has maintained a consistent presence in the rock music scene with a series of successful albums and singles. Their most recent releases showcase the band's adaptability and inclination towards both acoustic renditions and full-band productions, demonstrating their range and versatility within the rock sphere. Notable tracks such as "Heavy Is The Crown," and "Lioness," feature Daughtry's signature sound, blending powerful vocals with compelling melodies and introspective lyrics. The acoustic versions of songs like "Artificial" and "Changes Are Coming" strip back the production to reveal the raw emotionality at the heart of their music, while collaborations such as "Hunger Strike," featuring Lajon Witherspoon, highlight their ability to meld their sound with other artists. With "Dearly Beloved," Daughtry continues to evolve, embracing both their rock roots and exploring new sonic territories.
