This weeks featured artist is One Republic. The band that calls Colorado home, originated in 1996 but didn't truly form until 2002. They were picked up and dropped by major music labels but after becoming wildly popular on Myspace, One Republic became the first rock band to be signed to Mosley Music Group. Following this, the band was able to release their debut album Dreaming Out Loud in 2007 and made radio history with their first single "Apologize", receiving the largest amount of air plays in one week.
The song "Counting Stars" is the 3rd single off their 3rd album Native. Even though their previous singles from this album ("Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself") are huge hits, it's "Counting Stars" that makes its mark with me. The song has kind of an electronic folk sound mixed with a little Latin influence. (That flute!)
One Republic will be kicking off a co-headlining tour with Sara Bareilles on Aug 29th.
Take a listen. And I'd love to know what music genres and influences you hear in the song!
Until next time,
XOXO
Belle
