One Republic is back…and arguably better than ever.

Still riding high on the wave that is the Jeff Bhasker-backed LP ‘Native’, the Pop Rock band are gearing up to return to Pop’s courts to welcome their new single to the world.

Its title? ‘Wherever I Go.’

Its premise? Frontman Ryan Tedder explains:

It’s very much about obsession, and almost an unnatural, unhealthy level of obsession. It doesn’t personify the entire album and I think it’s going to really surprise people, the other thing i’ll say that’s rather important is that we spent ages making sure that it was actually live.’ 

 A lot of what intrigues me the most is some of the weirder stuff so like Sigur Ros and Miike Snow – I mean when you hear it you’ll definitely hear some of that kind of – I’ve been a long time fan of Miike Snow, so you’ll probably hear a little hint of that kind of melody.
