About
With the triumphant Fun. on hiatus, vocalist Nate Ruess strikes out on his own. Produced by Jeff Bhasker (who helmed Fun.’s <i>Some Nights</i> and Kanye West’s similarly gargantuan <i>My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy</i>), <i>Grand Romantic</i> is just as its title suggests: A bearhug of a pop album that’s by turns tough, tender, and cathartically sincere. Ruess’ solo debut recalls everything from doo-wop slowdances (“Take It Back”) to stomping pop-punk (“AhHa”) to '70s-style power ballads muscular enough to make Queen blush (“Great Big Storm”).
