FRONTMAN TALKS NEW ALBUM AND WORKING WITH OTHER ARTISTS

NEW SINGLE

'KIDS'

OUT NOW, ALBUM 'OH MY MY' RELEASED OCTOBER 7TH




OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder appears on the cover of FAULT ahead of the release of the band's fourth studio album, 'Oh My My', released on October 7th. In the magazine interview, Ryan speaks about the process of making the new album, fitting in the time to work with other artists such as Beyoncé, Adele and Stevie Wonder, and which British artist he has plans to work with next.

 

Ryan on what to expect from 'Oh My My':

'The songs are crazy; they’re all over the place. It’s like a playlist. And that’s how people listen to music nowadays anyway.  You listen to five artists; you don’t listen to just one artist. I work with 100 artists, so our music is reflective of that.' 


Ryan on how 'Oh My My' differs from previous OneRepublic albums: 

'With this album, I pushed the envelope as far as it could go and on some songs we probably pushed it too far. But then again, that’s how you figure out how far you can go within your own world.' 

 

Ryan on deciding which other artists to work with:

'You’ve got limited time in a day and you have to choose the ones that move you the most. You can’t just chase the ones that you think you’re going to have a hit with. You go for the ones that you know you’ll bring out the best in them and they’ll bring out the best in you.'

 

Ryan on working with Stevie Wonder and planning to work with James Bay early next year:

'I did a song for a movie with [Stevie Wonder] a couple of weeks ago. He and I were sitting in a room, going back and forth over lyrics and I had a moment where I was sat there and I wished there was a camera filming cause I was writing a song with Stevie Wonder.'

'James Bay would be great to work with. Someone connected us and we plan on writing together at the beginning of 2017, around January. But yeah, James is my favourite newcomer.'

OneRepublic's new album 'Oh My My' (released October 7th) is the follow-up to 2013's 'Native', which debuted at No.4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and No.9 on the UK Official Albums Chart, selling over five million units worldwide, and being certified as platinum in the United Kingdom. It produced the hit singles 'If I Lose Myself,' 'Feel Again,' 'Love Runs Out,' 'I Lived,' and 'Counting Stars,' which reached No.1 in 54 countries and has sold over 10 million downloads, including one million in the UK alone.

'Oh My My' is released on October 7th, available to pre order now. The new single, 'Kids', is out now.
