From the recording One Step Ahead (Of Heartache)
K Darling's signature song One Step Ahead (Of Heartache) sung by K and written by guitarist D Finocarro is melodic, guitar-oriented arena rock as its best:
This is the type of uplifting, big picture power ballad that transforms individuals in an audience into a glittering whole in a moment of musical solidarity illuminated by thousands of hand held lights; it's a career-summation of what the rock duo K Darling is musically all about, radio friendly pop sensibilities fused with classic guitar-oriented rock that yields a timeless record you will come back to listen to again and again...
