The All American Rejects Announce Lead Single
 

The All-American Rejects will release the first single, titled "Beekeeper's Daughter," from their new album Kids in the Street, on January 24th.

Press Release

“’Beekeeper’s Daughter’ is a story about a guy who thinks he can get away with anything and always have a girl there waiting for him,” Ritter says. “He never backs down from that opinion. At the end of it, he's even stronger and more snide and thinks he’s invincible no matter what. He's an asshole, but at that point in my life, I was kind of an asshole. As we were making Kids in the Street, I went from that to being a completely humbled guy who's looking at his reflection saying, ‘Wow, what have I done?’ It may make me not seem very likeable, but it was important that I be truthful and really open up on this album about what I’ve been through.’”

“Beekeeper’s Daughter,” along with the rest of the tracks on Kids In The Street, was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Greg Wells, who is known for his work with Adele, Katy Perry, and OneRepublic, among many others. “Greg was the first producer we’ve worked with who really spoke my language, which translated into the sound of the album,” Ritter says. “If you really want to know what Kids In The Street sounds like, it sounds like The All-American Rejects finally got their shit together and wrote a record that was going to keep them around.”

I am more excited for this than I thought I would be.

So. Far. Away.

This will probably be incredibly catchy and moderately successful. If there's one thing this band knows, it's consistency...

They had their shit together before "When the World Comes Down"

Excited for this.

After spending some time with it ... band's best album IMO.

Really anxious to hear this, that one sing didn't do anything for me though.

And the wait just got even longer M-(

awesome. i enjoy this group, aside from clunkers like "Gives You Hell" and "It Ends Tonight" IMO.


I liked the hell out of their last two albums for the most part.

Gave a listen to the self titled and Move Along on my drive down to Myrtle Beach last week (16 hours, oof...), and it really rekindled my love for them. Looking forward to hearing this, despite the last album, though admittedly I didn't listen to it very much.

Way to rub it in...

Can't freaking wait! And Gregg Wells? Holy shit yeah!

:-d

Well this thread certainly got me more interested in this release. I'm looking forward to checking out the single
