fun.’s latest LP, Some Nights, hits store shelves and digital retailers alike on Tuesday, February 21.
Drawing inspiration from Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the trio recruited Jeff Bhasker to help produce their latest endeavor. Some Nights combines elements of hip-hop with the band’s (Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost, and Jack Antonoff) well-crafted and catchy melodies to create a stellar collection of new music.
The album includes fun.’s anthemic lead single, “We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe).” The track can be heard in the latest Chevy Sonic ad, which aired during Super Bowl XLVI, which helped drive the song to #1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart.
As a thank-you to their fans for their support of the band and their new album, fun. is streaming Some Nights in advance for all to hear.
Take a listen to fun.’s Some Nights below.
