On the heels of the success of his breakout single “Top Of The World,” acclaimed alt pop-rock singer-songwriter Brenden Starr is unveiling his much-anticipated EP Hopeless Romantic January 27 on all DSPs. The nine-track EP is Starr’s first official release as a solo artist and one that he says “holds nothing back.”
“This album is like a roller coaster ride,” said Starr. “It will hit you with the highs and lows. There’s a bunch of twist and turns, with inner struggles of love and losing someone, being positive, staying true to yourself and working hard.”
Starr’s messages are already being received – loud and clear. In fact, Bob Smith from Static Dive described “Top Of The World” as possessing a “an indie-pop intro before the song’s foot-stomping beat introduces a wall of arena-rock power chords and big-synth swells.” Smith also writes that Starr’s voice “delivers a fist-pumping anthem in honor of the grind.”
The rest of the tracks on Hopeless Romantic are equally as powerful, embodying profound lyrics and hook-laden choruses including his second single “Gravity,” which just dropped this week with a riveting video (youtu.be/Tqbkr3u2sps) to celebrate the release of the EP. Working with Engineer and Co-Producer Hayden Calhoun of Dark Side Audio Studio (Mechanicsburg PA), who also performed guitars/bass/programming with Starr on drums, the songs take the listener through a chaotic yet cohesive journey of hope, love, disappointment, and resiliency.
“This album has a little something for everybody, from rock fans to pop fans,” said Starr. “I can’t just contain myself to one genre. I’m influenced by way to much music.”
The official tracklist for Hopeless Romantic is:
“Top of the World”
“Crossroads”
“Dreams”
“Gravity”
“Rooftops”
“Tonight”
“I Remember”
“Flatline”
“The End”
