FITZ Releases New Song “Congratulations” featuring Bryce Vine
Back in February, Los Angeles-based alt-pop band Fitz and The Tantrums' frontman Michael "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, aka FITZ announced his debut solo album “Head Up High” will be released on March 26, 2021,
From the album, he unveiled a new song “Congratulations” as the third single following “Somebody Sometimes” and “Head Up High” on March19, 2021.
He worked with American rapper Bryce Vine on the track. Co-produced by Ryan Daly, who created the album with Michael Fitzpatrick via Zoom session.
Michael Fitzpatrick said of the album in a statement, “I didn't even get my first break until I was 38 years old. By that, I mean I could sell a bunch of tickets to people other than my friends! It wasn't until I turned 40 that the band experienced any real success. I busted my ass and faced so much rejection for a good 15 years. I put down this dream more than once because I was so heartbroken and devastated by the industry. However, I had this monkey on my back that said, 'You've got to try again.' To have the opportunity to make what will be my fifth album overall is mind-blowing. It's already an incredibly unusual path. To make it even more usual, my wife and I were lying in bed and laughing once we finished the contract. I was like, 'Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact I'm a 50-year-old man who just signed his first record deal?'”- source : Spotify
