After his major label debut in 2010 with the long-awaited 11:59 album (which got to the Top 40 of the Billboard 200) and long-lasting songs like “Right Now”, “Breathe”, and “Last Train Home”, as well as last year’s “Stay Awhile” on a different label, Ryan Star is back with his new independent release, the EP Animals, due August 5. From that, as reported by Billboard today, “Impossible” will be the first single.
By far, this is one of the best songs from Ryan to date, another empowering set of lyrics reminiscent especially of “Breathe” carried by a live off the floor performance that resonates with honesty and fervour. This is not entirely unexpected from Ryan, who leaves himself on the stage whenever he performs. I’ve seen him twice in concert, in 2010 and last year in my city (when I got to chat with him), and “Impossible” looks to be great start to the 2013 Animals phase for Ryan. You can pre-order Animals on iTunes. Listen and add your comments at Billboard’s Soundcloud link below.
