OneRepublic Debuts Fourth Album

The band OneRepublic has been around and in the minds of radio listeners and fans for a while. Getting their start with lead vocalist Ryan Tedder joining with guitarist Zach Filkins in 2002, they launched successfully into the mainstream with 2007’s “Apologize” remix by Timbaland, and nearly a decade later, they are coming off more recognition than ever on the onset of the fourth album “Oh My My.”

Following the success of such singles as “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” “Counting Stars” and more, “Oh My My” looks to repeat with their trademark OneRepublic success of being a family-friendly band (having been a headline act at Disney World in the past) and a trailblazer in alternative rock music.

The lead single off the fourth album, “Kids,” was revealed in August, priming music-lovers to buy the entire album, which just released Friday.

“Wherever I Go” along with “Kids” feels like an evolution of the cheery, nature-inspired vibe they were going for in their third album, “Native.”

While the band is usually upbeat, with songs concerning messages of living life to the fullest and achieving one’s goals, there are always the softer, more reflective tracks, and “Oh My My” is no exception here either. “Future Looks Good” has received massive praise from fans as one of their most beautiful pieces yet.

In fact, if you look at comments below their music videos, you’ll rarely see a complaint. Most self-described longtime fans say they appreciate how the band has evolved over the years and how, to many, they seem to improve their sound with every album.

Another single, “A.I.” is a new kind of experiment for the band. Peter Gabriel teamed up with the five members of OneRepublic to make an electronically-inspired song regarding the sci-fi concept of falling in love with artificial intelligence. This track has been called as both visionary and mediocre on the Internet and has undoubtedly received a lot of attention in the past week along with the rest of the album.

“Oh My My” is out now, so if you count yourself a OneRepublic fan or someone who has always wanted to get into their music, their most recent endeavor may be the best place to continue experiencing their work.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
