The Used frontman Bert McCracken has announced a new pop influenced album under his robbietheused solo project.
Out on October 25 via Big Noise Records, it includes recent singles ‘Terrible’ and ‘The Feels’.
On the project, Bert says “Any feeling is valid—and to be able to put it to song is incredible and there’s so much room in this world for positivity. I want this music to show that there’s room for love. There’s room for growth. There’s room for redemption. There’s so many good people—and so many good things happening.”
The album was produced by longtime collaborator John Feldmann, with Bert adding “John Feldmann is a wizard. He can make anything and he’s so easy to work with. He’s the hardest working man I know in the music industry. There’s no drama recording with him. It was a smooth process—just like making a Used record.”
“In the morning, we’d talk about how we’re feeling and what’s on our minds on that day,” he continues. “And ask, ‘How’s the mental health? How’s the vibes?’ And then we’d formulate a song around that. It was almost like a therapy session, where I’d really get to talk about anything that’s on my mind, and then make a song about it.”
