NEW MUSIC from One Republic!

Ryan Tedder and the boys of One Republic have released a new single (which will be the lead off the band’s upcoming fourth studio album); it’s called “Wherever I Go”.

In an interview with Wonderland, Tedder explained the vibe of the song, saying, “I think it’s gonna be shocking, kind of the first response anyone has is their eyes are kind of spread open like ‘Oh my god’. It’s not indicative of the entire album but it’s kind of like if you go have dinner, you don’t order steak for an appetizer and steak for dinner, you split it up, and you have different things, so the first single is – it’s definitely an appetizer, I think it’s the best appetizer we could come up with.”

In the same Wonderland interview, Tedder explained that the band wanted to make sure their new music was different than anything in Top 40 at the moment.

“Everything – you could do an entire album on a laptop these days, and some of the biggest records are all electronic laptop driven, and there’s a lot of humanity, I think, missing in radio,” he explains. “And so we wanted to make sure that you could actually hear the human beings and the actual instruments that are in the actual songs, so that’s the last thing I’ll say. It’s new and very modern but there’s still a big dose of humanity in it because you can actually hear the players.”
