Following the recent creation of solo-themed social media pages, it looks to be confirmed that fun.'s Nate Ruess is taking a turn as a solo artist while Bleachers is on tour. From an AllAccess report on the iHeart Media Summit:

What?! I thought fun would have a new album this year?
Aw well. I'll try this out I guess.

What the hell?! I'm all for it but... damn. Jack Antonoff becoming his own celebrity kind of forced this.

With Fun.'s future uncertain, this might be his only choice.

I wonder if he's going to go the alternative route or the pop route.

Probably Pop, honestly, I like Bleachers' music better than "fun."
Not to say I don't like fun. the song "Some Nights" was one of my fav jams of 2012... (before pop got a hold of it)

So far only triple-A is getting it so it's probably likely that alternative will but I'd say pop and Hot AC wouldn't be too far behind. He's had a few solo appearances already with Pink and Eminem so he's more of a Rob Thomas than a Pat Monohan or Emerson Hart.

AllAccess says the alt impact date is a week earlier, March 3 - could be premiering that day, perhaps.

Isn't the full song out?
This doesn't really sound like a hit to me. Bleachers' material is better.

I like it, but I don't think it should be a single. It feels like an album track.

I kinda like it. It feels like an album track, but as a single, it could work. ETA: Just realized this was my 3,000th post.

I'm surprised it hasn't made its way around the internet yet. Only 230 views?

This isn't bad... but there isn't really anything about this song that hooks me and makes me want more.

Glad I made an mp3 out of it before it was removed.

I'm sure I've said it before, but I'm not a big fan of fun. at all, but Bleachers surprised me and I enjoyed a few tracks. This however has Nate Ruess' voice on it, which is incredibly grating to me. The song is pretty instrumentally barren until halfway through, it's hard to pick out anything musically memorable about it. Ruess has passion in his vocals, but his voice bothers me to a near-irrational level so I won't be queuing this up again anytime soon.

Yeah, kinda on the fence on this. I don't mind Ruess' vocals much but this song doesn't really have much of the spark that made fun. (or even Bleachers) singles stand out to me. Perhaps it might be a lead-up for more interesting material and I'll certainly keep an open ear for that but in the meantime this needs to grow on me.
Wonder what the third fun. guy is up to these days.

Ya'll are nuts, this song rules as does everything this man touches. Golden voice.
Bleachers are ok, but aside from their 2 singles, I find their album pretty meh for the most part. Definitely don't have the magic that fun.'s 2 albums have.
