Single and video available now
Hanson has unveiled “Child At Heart,” the first single from the sibling trio’s eagerly anticipated new project, Red Green Blue. Written by Taylor Hanson, and co-produced by Taylor, GRAMMY Award-winning producer, engineer and mixer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco) and GRAMMY Award-winning artist/producer David Garza (Fiona Apple, Midland, Sharon Van Etten), the dynamic new track is available now via 3CG Records at all DSPs and streaming services.
“The song ‘Child At Heart’ is about remaining open and hopeful despite the obstacles of life’s journey,” says Taylor Hanson. “Like a child whose heart is yet to be discouraged by the tribulations of the world.”
The official music video “depicts a series of inflicted wounds and tragedies, which leave my character nearly dead. It’s meant to be a metaphor for the pain of life and love, and the ultimate redemption of his love rejoining him reinforces the song’s message that we have to remain open and hopeful, despite what life throws at us”, shared Taylor Hanson.
Comprising three solo-led projects from Taylor, Isaac and Zac Hanson, Red Green Blue arrives via 3CG Records on Friday, May 20th. The album, which marks the 3x GRAMMY winning band’s milestone 30th anniversary, brings together the band’s three unique creative voices like never before, with a third of the album written and produced by each brother: Taylor’s Red, Isaac’s Green, and Zac’s Blue. The album, which is also, co-produced with Jim Scott and David Garza, amplifies the band’s unique trifecta of sound in a new way which is highlighted through the release of three singles, one featuring each brother. Starting with Taylor’s emotive rock anthem on “Child At Heart,” followed by Isaac’s organic and heartwarming “Write You A Song” on March 11th and the rock-infused force on Zac’s “Don’t Let Me Down” on April 15th, each song is a clue to the unique musical influences which make up the project.
Hanson will celebrate the new album on their upcoming Red Green Blue World Tour, with more than 80 shows around the world set to get underway June 8th in Helsinki, Finland’s House of Culture; North American dates begin July 12th at Houston’s House of Blues and continue mid-September. Latin American tour dates follow in September, with shows in Australia/New Zealand set for November. A new show in Switzerland has also been added to the schedule. Hanson’s first full-scale world tour in more than three years, the trek will feature the live premiere of 15 songs from the new album along with the first-ever live performances of songs from 2020’s Against The World and career-spanning setlists of fan favorites.
