Singer-songwriter Rob Thomas has introduced his upcoming sixth solo album, All Night time Days. The album marks his first launch in partnership with Common Data, and might be accessible on all platforms September fifth. Alongside the announcement, the Matchbox Twenty singer has shared two tracks that showcase twin sides of the album — the sunny lead single “Hard To Be Happy,” and the acoustic b-side “Thrill Me.”
Talking concerning the lead single, Thomas shares, “I wanted to write a song that felt happy. More than ever, we live in a time where personal and mental wellness can become a focus in your life. For that to happen, it needs to be acceptable to say, ‘I’m not happy right now; I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin.’ The song itself is very no-filler. It shows, ‘It’s alright to be unhappy,’ but it’s wrapped up in a happy tune. The message is, ‘I’m going to be fine, but leave me alone for this second!”
Reflecting on how he needs the file to be obtained, Thomas tells followers “I hope you see yourself in my music.” He notes, “The great songs I listen to are the ones where I’m the hero of the story in my head, even if I don’t know the writer. There are a lot of ‘Saturday Night’ and ‘Sunday Morning’ songs on All Night Days. Maybe one of these tunes becomes a part of your life.”
This summer season forward of the All Night time Days album launch, Rob will embark on an in depth headlining tour with dates within the US, Australia, and New Zealand, marking his first full tour since Matchbox Twenty’s wildly profitable “Slow Dream Tour,” and first headlining tour since 2019’s “Chip Tooth Tour.” For tickets and extra details about “The All Night Days Tour,” go to Rob Thomas’ web site.
