Nate Ruess opens up about debut solo album 'Grand Romantic'

'Nothing Without Love' singer-songwriter Nate Ruess has opened up about his forthcoming debut solo album, 'Grand Romantic'

Speaking exclusively to On Air with Ryan about the record, which is scheduled for a June 16 release, the fun. star explained that Mark Ronson's drums can be heard on the lead single:

“Mark Ronson actually, uncredited, is responsible for recording the drums on 'Nothing Without Love,' the single off of the album. He just happened to be in he studio with my producer, Jeff Bhasker… We somehow found a way to use his drums and also not give him credit in the process.”

He also confessed that his favourite song from the offering is 'Take It Back' and the writing process for that particular track was rather unusual:

“I didn’t have lyrics and one night, after throwing a few back, I decided that I just wanted to get on the mic and I wanted to do my best Jay Z impression and not write lyrics down and just freestyle. I don’t think you can understand what I’m saying because I’m mumbling half the time, but it is one of my favourite songs that is on he album. I decided that the take was so special.”
