OneRepublic Releases New Song “Hurt”
American pop rock band OneRepublic, consisting of Ryan Tedder (lead vocals/keyboards), Zach Filkins (lead guitar), Drew Brown (rhythm guitar), Eddie Fisher (drums), Brent Kutzle (bass) and Brian Willett (keyboards), will release their upcoming sixth studio album “Artificial Paradise” on July 12, 2024.
It is their first album in three years since the 2021 album “Human”.
The album comprises a 15-track, featuring collaboration with Assassin's Creed and Mishaal Tamer.
Produced by Benjamin Samama, Brent Kutzle, Grant, John Nathaniel, Mattman & Robin, Noel Zancanella, Ryan Tedder, Simon Oscroft and Tyler Spry.
From the album, the band released the seventh single called “Hurt” along with a lyric video on July 5, 2024.
The track was written and produced by Ryan Tedder and Tyler Spry.
The band frontman Ryan Tedder said of the album, “'Artificial Paradise' technically started with a song called 'West Coast' that we started in a hotel room in New Orleans in 2016. That song led to a series of others over the last eight years that didn't quite make sense together, but we kept collecting songs and we kept writing; as we do, in different hotel rooms and studios dotted around the world.”- He continued, “The shape of a new album started taking place and so much of the lyrics, and so many of these songs were written in the last couple years while we navigated a world, full of artificial stories and constructs and paradise - all around the world and people's digitally broadcasted lives and the lives that we create for ourselves and the stories that we tell ourselves and others.”
He added, “And as we continue to talk about this new paradigm, the phrase 'artificial paradise' kept coming up over and over and over again. And it just feels all too resonant with the world we currently live in, and the aspiration of so many people, for better or worse. Amidst all of that artificiality, we are trying to find real connection and real love, and a real story.” - source : Apple Music
