“Human” Q&A

What have the artists said about the album?
The whole album is steering towards connection. It’s about wanting real human connection in a meaningful way, because that’s really all that matters at the end of the day
In an interview with Forbes prior to the album release, Ryan Tedder explains his current pursuits and his decision to ease into a musically related career that would allow him to spend more time with his family and avoid the burnout that occurred after the release of 1R’s last album, Oh My My.
I’m definitely not stopping OneRepublic… I still love OneRepublic, we’re still going to tour, this new album I think will be phenomenal, but I can’t ever do what we’ve done in the past where, and I don’t care how successful the album is, I leave home and I’m on the road for two years. Once you have a family and kids, it changes everything.

Why is the album called "Human"?
All the song titles and all the songs are about very, very, basic human emotion. And so we’re actually calling it, the album, Human. That’s new information. And it will have about 8 or 9 songs on it.
