Why Am I The One - Fun.

From having their hit single “We Are Young” covered on Glee to being featured on a super bowl commercial, Fun. has had a very exciting past few months. The release of their sophomore album, “Some Nights” is set for February 21st and it seems to have all the elements of a chart-topping pop album.
Unlike the classic sound of “Aim and Ignite”, this album has songs like “It Gets Better” that uses pop-rock drum beats, which in my opinion don’t really suit the sound of this band. It’s a weird feeling to hear clap-tracks and autotune surrounding the sound of frontman, Nate Ruess’ amazing voice in the song “Stars”. But, at the same time they still have heartfelt theatrical-sounding songs like “Why Am I The One” and “All Alone”.
I appreciate how this album is able to reach a common ground between the original sounds of the band while approaching a widely accepted sound fit for the radio. As a fan of the format and fun., I hope they achieve the success that they deserve from this album.
