AJR; also known as brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met. Starting their music career busking on the streets of NYC, and now the multi platinum trio is making music like no one else. Every single project they release is unlike anything else, and just proves how out of this world they are with their music.
The group recently released "Way Less Sad", the fourth single to be featured on their upcoming album titled OK ORCHESTRA, and as mentioned before, AJR has blown us all away again.
After a few seconds of airy silence, an explosion of sounds appears and it automatically brings a smile to your face, not even ten seconds into the song. That happens just from the fun beat. After that, it’s paired with Jack’s recognizable vocals. The 3 minute and 28 second song speaks of their look on society, and how people spend their days.
Although the whole song is so upbeat and ground-shaking, the bridge of the song really caught my attention: ’well, I can't fall asleep and I'm losin' my mind' / cause it's half-past three and my brain's on fire / I been countin' sheep but the sheep all died / and I'm tryin' too hard but I can't not try’. AJR always finds a way to get their songs stuck in your head, while touching on not-so happy topics.
They've done it again, and we can’t wait for their upcoming project to be released on March 26th.
