The project will drop on November 10th
Big Time Rush has announced the release of Another Life Deluxe to be released on November 10th on BMG. The deluxe version of the acclaimed 2023 studio album features five new tracks including an acoustic version of the single “Weekends.” In line with the announcement, Big Time Rush has premiered a music video for the song “Weekends.”
Big Time Rush’s legendary reunion came about after a seven-year hiatus, spurred on by their virtual pandemic performance which ignited massive fan engagement and demand from the band’s longtime fans, Rushers. With over two billion global streams, a Netflix Top 10 TV show, and a platinum album and single the band embarked on their first tour in nearly a decade – and saw their fans come out in full force.
“This song has raised its hand and we wanted to give it and the fans some love by creating a visual for it. We hope everyone loves it and that it can give even more perspective to what we were writing about when we made ‘Weekends’ for the new album,” shares the group’s James Maslow. “We came up with a wild idea to combine a story line with some shots of the amazing set we had built for The Can’t Get Enough Tour. We shot this during a single sound check and then a half day off in Detroit which is insane when you look at the time it usually takes to shoot a music video. Michael B. Chait and the crew came so prepared that we were able to pull this off!”
The release of the music video for “Weekends” aligns with the announcement of their deluxe version of Another Life which will include five never-before-released tracks, including an acoustic version of fan favorite “Weekends.”
In addition to the acoustic version of “Weekends,” the deluxe album features “Shot In The Dark” which was first heard on season one of Big Time Rush’s TV series but was never released as an official record. The band performed this song, due to fan demand, on their recent summer tour. The songs “Learn To Love” and “Your Way” were both written during the sessions for Another Life, and “Dreamworld” was written in 2022.
Another Life, which was released in June of 2023, is the band’s first new studio album release in ten years and came to fruition in the midst of the band’s wildly successful reunion tours. The band hit the road in 2022 for their Forever Tour, their first since 2014, and were met with sell-out crowds across North and South America . The band launched their 2023 Can’t Get Enough Tour in June and again sold out amphitheater and arena shows – selling out venues across the US including Los Angeles’s KIA Forum and New York’s UBS Arena on the 39-city run. Across 2022 and 2023 the band’s reunion resulted in over 600,000 tickets sold.
Big Time Rush will perform six shows on iHeartRadio’s upcoming Jingle Ball Tour starting in Dallas on November 28th.
