OneRepublic keeps it real on new album Artificial Paradise, with their signature blend of emotive storytelling, catchy melodies, and genre-crossing collaborations.
Adding to an already impressive year, OneRepublic has just dropped their new album Artificial Paradise, featuring the single "Hurt" plus their recent smash hit with David Guetta, "I Don’t Want To Wait," which has amassed over 180 million streams globally and hit the number one spot at Dance/Electronic radio. The new album also includes "Nobody (from Kaiju No. 8)," the end credit song for the hugely successful manga-turned-anime series Kaiju No. 8. Speaking about the song, frontman Ryan Tedder shared, “We met with the entire Kaiju team and I was really inspired by the characters and the energy they wanted. The song needed to feel uplifting and fun with a moment of brightness. I wrote the lyrics in Tokyo, my favorite city, so Japan itself is a major inspiration for this song.”
Most recently, the band collaborated with Italian electronic group Meduza and German artist Leony on "Fire," the official song for the UEFA European Championships 2024 tournament. OneRepublic is set to perform the song in Berlin at the tournament's closing ceremony.
OneRepublic is comprised of singer/songwriter and lead vocalist Ryan Tedder, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, keyboardist Brian Willett, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher. Since their debut album Dreaming Out Loud in 2007, which featured the 20 million-selling smash single "Apologize," the band has consistently delivered hit after hit. Their sophomore album, 2009’s Waking Up, produced chart-toppers like "All the Right Moves," "Secrets," and "Good Life." In 2013, the certified-platinum album Native featured the No.1 hit "Counting Stars," which sold 41 million copies. Their fourth album, Oh My My, dropped in 2016 and 2021’s Human featured singles "Someday," "Run," "Somebody To Love," "Wanted," "Didn’t I," "Better Days," and "Rescue Me," which collectively have over 2.5 billion global streams. In 2023, OneRepublic kept the momentum going with "Dear Santa" for the holiday season and earlier tracks like "Runaway" and "Mirage,” for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
As OneRepublic releases Artificial Paradise, the excitement among fans is palpable. With their signature blend of emotive storytelling, catchy melodies, and genre-defying collaborations, this album promises to be another landmark in their already illustrious career.
