This Doylestown, Pennsylvania five-piece enlisted Dan Auerbach to produce their fourth full-length, 2022s Sweet Unknown, and the results brim with grounded, groovy, and sexy confidence perhaps best exemplified on this, the albums second track. Vocalist/guitarist Chris Regans plaintive and passionate delivery in I Cant Waits boisterous chorus is tailor-made for getting an overstuffed venue on its feet, dancing and shouting along. Meanwhile, Erik Regans tasteful percussion sets an irresistible pulse for Elliott Regans subtle keyboard touches (Yes, the three Regans make this an actual band of brothers), Anthony Marchiones muscular guitar, and Dallas Hoseys pocket-defining bass work. From the dirty twang of the opening guitar lick through to all-too-soon fade-out, Ceramic Animal have fashioned just under three minutes of tasty riffs and hooky vocals, all distinguished by compelling musicianship. Youre gonna dig playing this one!
For many, OneRepublic delivered the soundtrack to the summer of 2022 with I Aint Worried. Being the second single from the soundtrack for the biggest film of the year surely didnt hurt the track getting attention, but itd seem to be a foregone conclusion that this level of buoyant, sun-drenched artistry would have found its audience, regardless. The song begins with a cheery whistling melody over an unfussy synth pad before things really kick off at around the 7-second mark. As it turns out, that reoccurring whistle line was the primary catalyst behind the project. Singer Ryan Tedder spontaneously came up with that distinctive melody and the subsequent main structure of I Aint Worried just sort of presented itself. I wish every song that weve ever done was this easy!, he has said. Tedders casually seductive, spirited vocals are supported by snappy, get-up-and-dance drums and a memorably melodic guitar/bass riff from Zach Filkins and Brent Kutzle, enhanced by Drew Browns chiming six-string rhythm work. All in all, OneRepublic squeezes a hefty dose of good-time, affable, beach-blanket pop excellence into just over 2:30(!). I Aint Worrieds impact was truly global, as the track was a top-10 sensation in 37 countries, reaching #1 in four (It reached the top of the U.S. Adult Top 40 chart). If you dont already know this monster hit, get ready to add a new song to your favorites playlist!
OneRepublic first broke big in the early 2000s and have remained a top-selling recording and performance act ever since. 2022 saw the six-piece return to the charts with I Aint Worried, which dominated the summer airwaves, globally and theres more where that came from!
