OneRepublic release “Waking Up” today

OneRepublic’s highly anticipated album Waking Up is available today! The band’s follow-up to their Dreaming Out Loud debut features the powerful single “All The Right Moves.” Waking Up is available in both a regular and deluxe edition which will include bonus tracks “Trap Door,” “Sucker Punch,” “Passenger,” and “It’s A Shame.”

Waking Up, recorded in their hometown Denver, is the band’s most sweeping, cinematic effort to date, with even more strings and movie-like moments, thanks in part to the use of the same children’s choir and orchestra used by Batman and Edward Scissorhands composer Danny Elfman (with whom Tedder has shared ideas). Plus, OneRepublic has recently added co-writer and bass and cello player Brent Kutzle to its lineup. “All he listened to before getting into this band was soundtracks,” Tedder says. “He can name every score and soundtrack guy from the last 15 years.”
