Hanson have released their first single – ‘Child At Heart’ – from their new album Red, Green, Blue out on 20th May, ahead of their world tour kicking off on June 8th in Helsinki, Finland.
Hanson have released their new single “Child At Heart,” taken from their forthcoming album Red Green Blue. The track was written by Taylor Hanson, and co-produced by Taylor, GRAMMY® Award-winning Producer/Engineer/Mixer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco) and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist/producer David Garza (Fiona Apple, Midland, Sharon Van Etten). It’s a powerful introduction to their new project, a fizzingly emotive rock anthem.
“The song “Child at Heart” is about remaining open and hopeful despite the obstacles of life’s journey,” says Taylor Hanson. “Like a child whose heart is yet to be discouraged by the tribulations of the world…. The music video depicts a series of inflicted wounds and tragedies, which leave my character nearly dead. It’s meant to be a metaphor for the pain of life and love, and the ultimate redemption of his love rejoining him reinforces the song’s message that we have to remain open and hopeful, despite what life throws at us”.
Comprising three solo-led projects from Taylor, Isaac, and Zac Hanson, RED GREEN BLUE arrives via 3CG Records on Friday, May 20; pre-orders are available on Hanson.net now. The album, which marks HANSON’s milestone 30th anniversary, brings together the band’s three unique creative voices like never before, with a third of the album written and produced by each brother: Taylor’s RED, Isaac’s GREEN, and Zac’s BLUE. The album, which is also, co-produced with Jim Scott and David Garza, amplifies the band’s unique trifecta of sound in a new way which is highlighted through the release of three singles, one featuring each brother.
Starting with Taylor’s emotive rock anthem on “Child at Heart” (out today) followed by Isaac’s organic and heartwarming “Write You A Song” (March 11) and the rock-infused force on Zac’s “Don’t Let Me Down” (April 15), each song is a clue to the unique musical influences which make up the project.
