Jun 17, 2016 Shout Out Louds By Christopher Roberts

Shout Out Louds’ lead singer/songwriter Adam Olenius has announced his debut solo EP and shared its first single, “News Are Saying,” which features guest vocals from Say Lou Lou. The Looking Forward to the New Me EP is due out on June 29 via Olenius’ own ABWO label. Below is “News Are Saying,” followed by the EP’s tracklist and cover art. Olenius says they are “songs about love, death, alcohol, money, and other current affairs.”

The EP was recorded during 2015-2016 in the Swedish musician’s hometown, Stockholm. Måns Lundberg partially produced the EP, with two of the tracks, “Feels Like Feels Right” and “Birthday (Kill For That Jacket”), being self-produced by Olenius. Rebecca & Fiona’s Rebecca Scheja sings on “Wednesdays” and “Moves.”

Olenius had this to say about the EP in a press release: “Here it is. My solo debut. In the shape of 5 songs I started writing a few years ago and finished just a few weeks ago. Songs written at home, in the elevator, on airplanes, in bars, and in between soundchecks. No filters, no time to think. Pushed record and started singing. Songs about love, death, alcohol, money, and other current affairs. I produced most of the EP with my friend and producer Måns Lundberg and two tracks by myself. This is the first glimpse of my new direction. My new road. My fire lane. Looking forward to the new me.”

Looking Forward to the New Me EP Tracklist:

1. News Are Saying
2. Wednesdays
3. Feels Like Feels Right
4. Moves
5. Birthday (Kill For That Jacket)
