Free Music Notes for Dreaming Out Loud
Free Music Review: Coldplay but not quite
Hit: 4 Stars
Timbaland obviously has a good ear for talented musicians today. We have all heard Apologise on our radios and know the pure beauty of the breathy vocals that are gracing the airwaves.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that One Republic are destined to be a one hit wonder. Their album Dreaming Out Loud is full of the same sweet melodies and tasteful lyrics as Apologise. With smooth production and intelligent tastes, they have triumphed with their debut album - it's well worth a listen.
With singer Ryan Tedder following in the breathy vocal stylings of Chris Martin of Coldplay fame, the band following the musical essence of acts like Snow Patrol and the industry smarts of their mentor Timbaland, it will be hard for them to go too wrong.
Dreaming Out Loud plays very nicely at a dinner party or when just reclining back with a nice red and good book. The sounds are anything but obnoxious. They can, at times, disappear and play unnoticed if you are not consciously listening directly it. When it comes to relaxing background music, this one is a perfect choice.
The album has both the original and Timbaland versions of Apologise. The magic doesn't end there - Stop And Stare, Say and the title track Dreaming Out Loud are all stand out tracks.
If you're hesitant to put this one on your `to buy' list, at least put it on your `to listen' list.
Dreaming Out Loud Poster
If, like most of the pop-listening public, you heard Timbaland's chart-topping remix of OneRepublic's single "Apologize" before you heard the original, you may be mildly confused about what kind of music the band makes. Timabaland's signature electronic swizzles and "eh-eh-eh"s leave the impression that OneRepublic is a style-heavy outfit a la Maroon 5, but frontman Ryan Tedder's plaintive words and woebegone themes don't fall far from forerunners Keane, Coldplay, and the Fray. Dreaming Out Loud chisels away at the dichotomy. "Apologize," stripped of its swizzles, is a gorgeous modern rock song made all the more gorgeous by the urgency in Tedder's striking, unscuffed voice, and a lot of the songs on this record stack up similarly. Which is to say that, although tracks like "Tyrant" and opener "Say (All I Need)" wrap themselves around some seriously stylish production, substance is really this band's thing. A piano played by turns ferociously and tenderly drives the point home, and so do some choice lyrics; if you are inclined to choke up at feelings laid bare, check out "Goodbye, Apathy" and "Come Home" at your own risk. --Tammy La GorceOneRepublic considers its music to be influenced by everyone from the Beatles to U2, and anything in between. "We're no respector of genre," says frontman Ryan Tedder, "If it's a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, indie or hip hop, they've probably influenced us on some level...nothing's new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts." They aspire to move their listeners the way Bono does onstage. "You go to a U2 concert and it's like church," Tedder says. "I'd love to make people feel like that. I don't want someone to just say, `Oh, nice voice, nice song.' I want that person to walk away and feel like he or she has had a religious experience; we want them to feel moved."
The band was formed in Colorado by Tedder and high school classmate Zach Filkins. The pair moved to Los Angeles, where they picked up fellow Coloradan, guitarist/keyboardist Drew Brown and drummer Eddie Fisher. The band's most recent inductee, Brent Kutzle, plays bass and adds something extra to live shows with his classical cello. In addition to his work with his own band, Tedder is a Grammy nominated writer & has written & produced tracks with/for various other artists, including Natasha Bedingfield, Jennifer Lopez, Lil' Jon, Paul Oakenfold, t.A.T.u., Bubba Sparxxx, Tupac and uber-producer Timbaland. A remix of OneRepublic's song "Apologize" is featured on Timbaland's album, Shock Value.
The song "Apologize" explores the personal pain of multiple relationships gone awry and the necessity of moving on, while "Stop and Stare" describes the common frustration of getting to a place in life where you think, "How in the world did I end up here, this isn't where I wanted to be, watching what I wanted pass me by." "The lyrics have shades of melancholy, and there is a definite emotional undercurrent running through them," says the band. "If you can't tap into emotion, you're just selling catchy tunes."
