Kelly & Ryan Tedder (One Republic) Appreciation #1-We can't wait to hear their stuff!

Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic's front man) is writing and working with Kelly on her upcoming album.

The title comes from this interview from Ryan:

Popjustice

Quote:

Do you have an emotional connection with a song you've given to someone else once it leaves the building, or do you just let their label get on with it?What I find difficult is… Well, there have been videos shot which were wrong. There have been songs I've done that I thought and still think are hit songs which the artist didn't deliver properly. Or in some cases weren't marketed properly. The hardest thing for me is a song you know is a hit – and for me that happens at least once a year – where a song I truly believe is a hit doesn't become what it was supposed to be, and that's usually to do with the artist. It's the right song on the wrong artist. It's like the song is crippled. But right now I'm so much more particular about who I work with. Until a year ago I was living from song to song – songs for movies, remixes, feast or famine – then things started happening and now I can afford to be more particular. I say no to 98%. You have to say no. The thing that makes you career are the times you say no, not the times you say yes. I think the most important thing artists can do is not package up bull**** in a pretty bow, because it still smells like bull****. And that's the one thing that with the band I've sworn myself to. The moment you start to try doing something and you try too hard it becomes disingenuous.

Thank you for the new thread Katie!
I love the OP too

We so need to add reasons and quotes from Kelly though.

Also...little mention on a Music website:

Music City TV - Nashville's Entertainment News Source - Brad Schmitt - WKRN

Another Nashville connection:

Kelly is working with one-time Music Row intern Ryan Tedder, now lead singer of One Republic (Apologize, Stop and Stare).

Ryan will be producer for a few tracks on Kelly's album.

We definitely do.

We're in thread #2 and it still says "coming soon"

btw, I'm adding me into the supporters! I didn't even see the list when I opened.

So...how many tracks exactly is a "few"? I feel like Ryan is really putting in a lot of work with Kelly on the album, and that gets me excited.

**DanceWithLife** · 07-11-2008, 10:55 PM

I know! We really need to fill up the first post

Oh and I don't know how many tracks, but I'd say at least 3-4. And I love that because most artists Ryan worked with, it was only for one song, or sometimes two. I love that they did several together. It says a lot about how they enjoyed working together.

diggerdrogo · 07-12-2008, 04:45 AM

I'd like to be on the supporters please!

**xBeautifulDisasterx23** · 07-12-2008, 05:22 AM

Thanks for the new thread Katie!

And please add me to the supporters too

I can't believe I'm not on there

secret tragedy · 07-12-2008, 08:03 AM

Added you both, Jack and Emmy.

I think that sounds about right. It definitely shows they enjoy working together- especially because Ryan is not only working with other artists, he also has his own stuff with OneRepublic, so for him to dedicate so much time to Kelly's album says a lot.

I can't believe I never noticed this thread before! Definitely add me to the list of supporters!

Added you Jennifer

So do you guys think the collaboration will be released as a single since it's been getting so much hype?

DARKNESSBALL · 07-14-2008, 02:22 PM

thanks for the new thread!

i def think it'll be the first single.

I think the chances are good that at least one of the songs they've done together will end up being a single. The buzz and the hype is all about this collaboration so it would be crazy not to capitalize on that popularity.

**xBeautifulDisasterx23** · 07-14-2008, 06:26 PM

Especially the fact that they're working on more than one song together, I definitely think one of them will be the first single. And if its it not, I'm sure it will be one of the singles

I agree.

I think when popular artists like that collaborate, it's almost stupid not to release it as a single.

I mean, collaborations have not been released in the past, I'm sure, but it seems they always do pretty well on radio and such.
