The Used's Bert McCracken unveils pop solo project robbietheused and debut single
After finding success as vocalist for The Used, Bert McCracken is diving into a a completely different world with a new solo project.
Unveiled today, robbietheused finds McCracken delivering pop jams. The singer began writing tunes during the pandemic with the assistance of longtime colleague John Feldmann. McCracken said this about the recording process:
“In the morning, we’d talk about how we're feeling and what's on our minds on that day. And ask, ‘How's the mental health? How's the vibes?’ And then we’d formulate a song around that. It was almost like a therapy session, where I’d really get to talk about anything that's on my mind, and then make a song about it.”
The debut single from robbietheused titled “Just A Little Bit” is out on digital services right now via Big Noise. McCracken said this about the song:
“It's a song about living through turmoil of the world and seeing a bit of a bright future ahead, seeing the sun peek out of the clouds, seeing a mistake being fixed. It’s about having a little bit of hope."
More music from robbietheused will be unveiled soon.
