OneRepublic have signed with BMG, the company announced on Thursday, with the Ryan Tedder-fronted pop-rock band signing a new global recordings partnership with BMG after a nearly two-decade run at Universal Music Group’s Interscope.
BMG said Thursday that OneRepublic will be dropping their upcoming seventh album through the company, with lead single “Beautiful Colors” set to release on July 25.
“We’re excited to join the BMG family to keep releasing music that our fans will love,” Tedder said in a statement. “Jon [Loba, BMG’s president, frontline recordings] and Dan [Gill, EVP, Recorded Music, West Coast] have already been such incredible partners throughout this whole process and we’re looking forward to their continued support. We can’t wait for our fans to hear our new single ‘Beautiful Colors’ inspired by the Japanese anime series ‘Kaiju No. 8’, coming out later this month.”
Mosley Music Group/Interscope has been OneRepublic’s home since 2007, when the label released the band’s debut Dreaming Out Loud. OneRepublic released some of the biggest hits in pop with the label, including their quadruple-platinum-certified debut single “Apologize” and the diamond-certified “Counting Stars.” OneRepublic’s last album with Interscope was 2024’s Artificial Paradise. That album also featured “I Ain’t Worried,” which was originally made for Top Gun: Maverick and now has over 2 billion streams on Spotify.
“OneRepublic is one of the most dynamic and enduring bands of the past two decades, with a global footprint that spans chart-topping hits, billions of streams, and a deep catalog of era-defining music,” Loba said in a statement. “Their ability to evolve, innovate, and connect with audiences worldwide aligns perfectly with BMG’s artist-first philosophy.”
Gill, meanwhile, called the new deal “an exciting new chapter – not just for the band.”
“Partnering with OneRepublic further strengthens our ability to collaborate at the highest level and deliver for artists of this caliber,” he said. “We are fully committed to supporting OneRepublic’s creative vision and ensuring their upcoming album reaches fans on a scale like never before.”
