Kim — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 09:23:11 +0000

ETA: The entire album is streaming HERE!

Check out the page for 11:59 on Amazon.com…the 30 sec song snippets are FINALLY up and streaming! Start A Fire, the only song that we (or at least most of us) hadn’t heard a studio version of yet sounds great — very catch and marketable, definite single potential there.

Listen Here

Now, I can’t wait to hear snippets from the additional songs from the deluxe version, which includes:

1. Brand New Dar
2. Right Now
3. Last Train Home
4. Breathe
5. We Might Fall
6. This Could Be The Year
7. Unbreak
8. Start A Fire
9. Losing Your Memory
10. 11:59
11. You and Me
12. Gonna Make It Right
13. Back of Your Car

I’m definitely planning on getting an itunes copy Monday night and then a hard copy on Tuesday!

Listen to “Start A Fire”

New Ryan Star Song “Unbreak”

Kim — Thu, 13 May 2010 18:05:23 +0000

A handful of Ryan’s songs are up on HitPredictor, including a new track called “Unbreak”, a new version of “We Might Fall” and a rerecorded version of 11:59. I recorded the first two and a snippett of the 3rd; the quality isn’t great, just a warning!

ETA: Well that was quick! All three clips were taken down, sorry guys.

Love the new song, and I also love this new version of 11:59. I remember HitPredictor had a demo up late last year and a lot of us felt it was a bit too overproduced,but this version is just perfect. And I’m glad we’re finally getting to hear the new version of WMF with the accordion that Ryan told us about a couple of years ago. It’s absolutely GORGEOUS and has this ethereal quality to it. I really recommend signing up on hitpredictor and listening to a higher quality version (set you stats to HAC!).

Catch “Breathe” on American Idol Commercials

First So You Think You Can Dance?, now American Idol is jumping on the “Breathe” train. Keep an eye out for the new commercials featuring the top 12, and of course, Ryan’s song. That or you could just watch it below:

Listen For “Breathe” On the SYTYCD? Finale Tonight

Kim — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:50:02 +0000

Those of you on the West Coast can still keep a heads up for this! Ryan’s song “Breathe” is featured as one of the goodbye songs on tonights So You Think You Can Dance? finale (one of my favorite shows!). This is BIG! I’ll post more details after it airs here, and hopefully video soon.

ETA: Breathe was played as a part of Ellenore’s elimination on last nights show. Working on getting video!

“Breathe” Video Premiere

Kim — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:11:41 +0000

Actually, this is more of a video leak; the folks over at 96.9 Wink FM managed to find the video for “Breathe”. The video officially premieres tomorrow on CNN.com at 2pm EST. And Ryan also mentioned in his latest blog that he’ll sit down for an interview about the video first, and he’ll talk a bit more about Breathe4Jobs.com, a new website that will launch after the premiere tomorrow.

It’s really amazing to see Ryan use his music for such a great cause; it’s great how he’s tying the two together seamlessly. The video is powerful, goes with the song well and even makes the song more poignant. This is definitely my favorite of his videos so far!

Last Train Home 4 Track EP Drops June 16th

Kim — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 01:02:25 +0000

Great news! Even though Ryan’s CD has been pushed back to July 28th, we’re getting a preview of the album next week. He announced yesterday on his blog and twitter that the “Last Train home” EP will be released on June 16th. The EP will have four tracks and anyone who buys it will get the entire album at a cheaper price once it’s released.

Here’s an excerpt about it from RStar.net:

In other exciting news, I know so many of you have been awaiting 11:59 for a very long time now. I am happy to announce that I am releasing 4 songs from the upcoming release in the form of the “Last Train Home EP.” It will be available on June 16th at iTunes and your other favorite online retailers. When the album officially comes out, you will be able to complete the album at a reduced price. I am so excited to have you finally able to have some of the songs that have been popping up out there, so here is a sneak peek at 11:59. Enjoy it and please let me know what you think.

So, we know Right Now and Last Train Home are a part of the tracklisting, which means there are two mystery tracks. I’m thinking it will be “This Will Be the Year” and “Brand New Day”.

“Right Now” On The Philanthropist NBC Promos

Kim — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:57:22 +0000

I’ve been hearing Ryan’s music everywhere recently, but NBC especially loves to use his songs in their promo’s. Right now they’re airing ads for their new summer show The Philanthropist, which features Ryan’s song “Right Now”. That song is so anthemic it just fits everything perfectly!

“We Might Fall” On One Life To Live

Kim — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 02:46:53 +0000

Ryan’s music really is EVERYWHERE. Just this weekend I heard “Right Now” on a commercial (but I’m not sure what show it was for because I was in the next room). This is a couple of weeks old, but still worth watching. One Life To Live did an entire montage to “We Might Fall”, and it’s a different version of the song that I haven’t heard before.

Full Studio Verson of “Brand New Day”

Kim — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 05:59:39 +0000

I was searching around on youtube today and found this, a full studio version of the song “Brand New Day”, which just might be my favorite song from Ryan’s upcoming album (that, LTH and TCBTY). And in case you didn’t know, it’s the title track on the FOX show “Lie to Me”.

This version sounds great, and I still love the acoustic version:
