OneRepublic will be releasing their sophomore album, Waking Up, on the 17th of November. The lead single, "All The Right Moves" is one of my favorite tracks at the moment, and I've posted it several times, including the music video.
While a tracklist has not been confirmed yet, a second song has leaked. The song, "Secrets" will be the lead single in Germany, as it is featured in a German movie. "Secrets" is a great song and has great build up. I prefer "All The Right Moves" and think it's a better song, but "Secrets" is still a great track. "Waking Up" is one album I am anxiously waiting for. As you may have noticed, I am a big fan of Ryan Tedder and his songwriting/producing. (OneRepublic and Ryan Tedder are on one of the tracks on Leona Lewis' album Echo. The song is called "Lost then Found").
"Secrets":
What do you think of "Secrets"?
Bonus: "Everything" and "Come Home" with Sara Bareilles :
I found this "demo" and hopefully it will pop up on a OneRepublic album. It is listed as a demo, but it sounds complete and ready for commercial success if you ask me. If it doesn't end up on a future OneRepublic album, hopefully he is shopping the song around to another artist. It is a brilliant song called "Everything" and is a great track. I prefer it over "Secrets".
"Come Home" is a great track off "Dreaming Out Loud", OneRepublic's first album. The band recorded a version of the song with Sara Bareilles and it's more brilliant than the original. While I like the original, the harmonies with Ryan Tedder and Sara Bareilles are amazing and add depth and emotion to the song. I really like it and hope you do as well.
