Hey everyone- Ryan here wanted to say a big HELLO from Colorado- we're wrapping up the album in it's entirety now- 5 week countdown starting now. we've got 9 songs penned and recorded- 4 of them already mixed and mastered- and since we're in the 11th hour now as a challenge I'm pushing for one more epic song to round out the whole album...so it'll either be 9 or 10 songs....we decided artists are putting WAY too many songs on their albums these days- they think they're giving "you", the fan, a bargain or something- but really we think it's just too much to digest....overweight albums with 20 bonus tracks and whatever. when really all u guys want is the best songs u can find......no filler.....just amazing songs that are real and u connect with. so whether singles or just album cuts we can promise there's ZERO filler on this album- we hope it'll be the soundtrack to your lives for the end of 2009 and ALL of 2010!!!!
The album's title is being debated right now but will be decided in the next week- we have a photo shoot coming up as well as video, and artwork...all that fun stuff...
As of now we're using Autumn De Wilde to do the photo shoot- google her- her stuff is AMAZING!!!
This album will have a ton more tempo and upbeat stuff than the last album- alot more edgier stuff as well....but fear not- it wouldn't be a OneRepublic album without some moody melodic mid's and of course we snuck in a ballad.... but we're definitely not aiming to reproduce or chase album 1 or any of it's singles.
Hope u guys have peeped "come home" w/ sarah B on iTunes now- we recorded that in Manchester at Blueprint studios during our last UK tour last fall and we loved it so much- thought it wasn't right that that song never saw the light of day or came out as a single- so we decided to just put it out as an "end of album" surprise....we're not doing a huge push at radio- but if u love the song please feel free to request it at any station.
We'll be updating u guys very soon- hope your having a great summer!!
Who cares...another album full of meanless tracks. They are only relevant because of Apologize...The band leader should keep on writing songs for other artists...thats the thing he is good at!
