00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Bits of the Tantrums

00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: who single hand Clap Exploded Worldwide, are back with a

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: new full album worth of material called let Yourself Free,

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: which is a bit of an ironic title because Fits

00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: flowing creative process a bit to make the record, he says,

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: with this album, I tried to be more judicious with

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: how I spent my time. I didn't want to write

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: a hundred songs again. I tried to take it down

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: a notch. Instead of writing a song every day, I

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: tried to write two or three a week and really

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: think about it and sit with them. And I ended

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: up writing about fifty songs for this record, and invariably

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,080

Speaker 1: songs eventually down to the twelve for the album you

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: hone the arc. I'm super proud of this record. Let

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Yourself Free out now, that's Direct from Hollywood.
