The Lumineers Release Single ‘BRIGHTSIDE’
Grammy-nominated, Colorado folk-rock band, The Lumineers are back with the first single, ‘BRIGHTSIDE’, released off their upcoming album BRIGHTSIDE. The title track delivers the band’s classic sound and fans won’t be disappointed. It’s beautiful and ethereal with a heartwarming story.
“The song ‘BRIGHTSIDE’ was recorded in a single day,” says The Lumineers singer-guitarist and co-founder Wesley Schultz. “It’s like a 15-year-old’s fever dream, an American love story in all its glory and heartbreak. The last couple left, on the run from something and all alone…”
The song is available for listening on all digital streaming platforms, plus a beautiful serene visualizer on YouTube. If you want more you can catch the band tonight on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! premiering the song with a live performance. Check your television listings for channels and times. If you miss it you can keep an eye on Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s Youtube Channel.
BRIGHTSIDE is The Lumineers’ fourth studio album and it’s set for release on Friday, January 14th, 2022, via Dualtone in the U.S. & Canada and Decca Records everywhere else.
The Lumineers – BRIGHTSIDE (Visualizer)
BRIGHTSIDE was produced by longtime collaborator Simone Felice as well as David Baron who produced, mixed, and engineered the record over two sessions. The first during the winter and the second one during the spring of 2021 at Baron’s Sun Mountain Studios in Boiceville, New York. It’s been two years since The Lumineers released their last album. BRIGHTSIDE brings a “joyous and spontaneous” feel that that’s new for the band.
“The nine-song collection sees The Lumineers’ co-founders/co-songwriters Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites performing virtually all of the eclectic, effervescent instrumentation, with Baron on a wide variety of keyboards and backing vocals and more by Simone Felice, touring members Byron Isaacs and Lauren Jacobson, famed backing singer Cindy Mizelle (Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band), The Felice Brothers’ James Felice, and acclaimed singer-songwriter Diana DeMuth.”
