Review: OneRepublic's sixth studio album marks another chapter in their illustrious career, showcasing their signature blend of pop-rock with a fresh, vibrant energy. Led by the dynamic vocals of Ryan Tedder, alongside guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, Brian Willett on keys, multi-talented Brent Kutzle on bass and cello, and drummer Eddie Fisher, the album delivers a mix of standout tracks. The breakout platinum single 'I Ain't Worried', famously synced with Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick, exemplifies their ability to craft anthemic hooks that resonate widely. Collaborations like 'I Don't Wanna Wait,' featuring David Guetta, add diversity to their repertoire, while hits such as 'West Coast' and 'Sunshine' showcase their knack for catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Frontman Ryan Tedder, a three-time Grammy winner for his songwriting prowess with artists like Adele and Taylor Swift, brings his seasoned craft to every track, ensuring each song on this album shines with its own unique charm. Available on gold vinyl, this release looks as good as it sounds.
