One Republic presenta su éxito ‘Apologize’ en un concierto secreto en Madrid

Los estadounidenses One Republic tuvieron que recurrir a Internet para editar su primer disco, el que les dio el éxito mundial con ‘Apologize’, tema remezclado por Timbaland que hoy muestran en directo a un público español aún por conquistar en un ‘concierto secreto’ en el Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid.

‘Hoy en día las compañías discográficas sólo apuestan por un grupo cuando están completamente seguros de su éxito, así que decidimos demostrar nuestro potencial por nosotros mismos’, explica a Efe el guitarrista del grupo, Zach Filkins, en perfecto castellano aprendido durante su infancia en Barcelona.

De esta forma One Republic se convirtió en uno de los miembros de la generación MySpace, la de Mika y Lily Allen, que lograron el éxito antes de debutar en el mundo discográfico, y que en el caso de los estadounidenses se materializa en ‘Dreaming out loud’ (Universal), editado en 2007.

El concierto de esta noche, al que podrán acceder las 300 primeras personas que se presenten en el centro cultural madrileño con su perfil de la web MySpace impreso, promete estar lleno de ‘improvisación y sorpresas para no aburrir al público’, aseguran, y para no aburrirse ellos, que se intercambian de instrumento sobre el escenario y que gustan de ofrecer inesperadas versiones de artistas como Duffy, Oasis e incluso Rhianna, aunque para esta noche intentarán escoger un éxito en castellano.

Con la actuación de One Republic la web reactiva sus ‘Secret shows’, con los que ofrece a sus usuarios la posibilidad de asistir a conciertos privados de forma gratuita en sitios poco comunes, como ocurrió el pasado mes de junio de 2007, cuando Smashing Pumpkins actuó en el Teatro Calderón de Madrid.

El éxito ha llegado a One Republic a través de su colaboración con el rapero Timbaland, el último colaborador de Madonna de cuya inspiración han nacido parte del pop más elegante y celebrado de los últimos años en las voces de Justin Timberlake o Nelly Furtado.

El cantante de One Republic, Ryan Tedder, también se ha convertido por derecho propio en uno de los niños mimados de la industria anglosajona como candidato al Grammy por su colaboración con el DJ Paul Oakenfold y como autor de ‘Bleeding love’, la balada que ha hecho célebre a la cantante británica Leona Lewis y con la que ha logrado ser número uno en una treintena de países, entre ellos Estados Unidos.

Pero el grupo toma del Reino Unido la inspiración que no encuentran en el rock de su país, ‘con demasiadas guitarras y con mucha menos alma’, explica el bajista Brent Kutzle.

OneRepublic featured on Artist Direct

Interview: Eddie Fisher of OneRepublic

Singles blow up overnight, artists rarely do. Most musicians pegged as “overnight sensations” are really the product of years of hard work and dedication. Such is the case with OneRepublic. Signed to Timbaland’s Mosely Music Group, the band is made up of musicians who have paid their dues in the business and are just now seeing the fruits of their labor sprout into large-scale recognition. When Timbaland put his Midas Touch on their single “Apologize,” with a punched-up remix, the song soared straight up the charts and propelled the group into the big time. We spoke with drummer Eddie Fisher about OneRepublic’s newfound fame and how they’re learning to live in the spotlight.

You guys are all over the place right now, you can’t turn on the radio without hearing “Apologize.” How does it feel to have huge success with this song compared to what is years and years of work as a musician up until now?

It kind of feels fun, it feels kind of loud. It’s like it’s finally paying off and our work—all our blood, sweat and tears—is being recognized. It’s pretty surreal. “One minute it’s not on the radio, and one minute you can’t not hear it. You turn it on and it’s everywhere”.

Do you ever have to feel like you have to clue people in to the fact that you guys didn’t just come out of nowhere? You’re all really accomplished musicians who have been in this game for a long time.

Occasionally there have been some moments like that. Like, “Hey, we’re a white rock band.” They never know until they take the time to find out the information. There are so many bands that have been around for ten years and when they get their radio start, it’s like, “Oh yeah, who’s this?”

You guys are now signed to Mosley Music Group, Timbaland’s label. I see he executive produced on the album. What’s it like working with him and making music with him?

He’s great. He comes in the studio and knows what he wants. He knows what he wants to hear. Sometimes he doesn’t know what he wants and sometimes he sits in the corner and beat boxes something outlandish—just crazy stuff—and it comes out to be like magic. He has definitely got the Midas Touch.

The Timbaland remix of “Apologize” is the version that’s really blown up. Is there ever any element of surprise when you come out—people who are surprised by what they see?

There has been some surprise, but not too much. A lot of people are like, “We didn’t know they’re a white band,” which is fun, because we don’t want to be in one genre. Our music is for the people, not for any race, religion or sex; it’s for everyone.

You’re on an artist run label. Do you feel like he [Timbaland] understands what making music is about more than a typical suit?

Yeah. He lets us do what we do best. He comes to terms with the little man. We gave him the “Apologize” remix and we were skeptical, but he brought it to us and we were completely happy. We trust him, he trusts us, and it’s easy.

The album is so well produced, it sounds great. The melodies themselves are so strong, there is so much composition that goes into it. There’s piano at work, there’s guitar at work, there’s cello coming up in there. What is your creative process like? How do you guys take all of that and go into the studio and make these great packages?

It changes. One guy will come in with a guitar part, or a bass part, or even a vocal, or piano part. I lay the drums down, or sometimes it’s a loop, or even a drummy sound in the key of E. The magic just happens. We recorded our first song on the album, “Say,” in 30 minutes. When we were done, it gave us chills, and that’s what we love about our music. It gives us chills.

I know you guys are from Colorado, is there a happening music scene there? Do you feel like it helped nurture the sound that you have now?

I’m actually from Orange County, but being in Denver, there isn’t really much of a scene. I love Denver, and I love Colorado, and you know, I don’t live there unfortunately—maybe one day. It is a beautiful city where Drew and Zack and Ryan have been. Ryan wrote “Apologize” looking outside his father’s huge cabin window overlooking the Rockies. You kind of get an influence of music through where you’re living. I guess I can credit Colorado for that.

You came from Orange County, but a lot of the other band members were in Colorado. How did you all come together to make this unit?

Ryan and Zack didn’t want to start OneRepublic until they moved to LA. They picked up Drew shortly after that. A little bit after that, one drummer leaves, then they picked me up. Then the old bass player left and we picked up Brent, who benefits us with a cello. It all works out because we’re all brothers, we’re all family. All of our wives and girlfriends love each other; we’re all just one big happy family.

Amen. You guys have been doing some dates out on the road. It’s probably a nice experience—or maybe nicer than it had been before you hit this kind of fame. What’s it like on the road this time around?

We’re hooked up with a wonderful tour bus. We stop at cities, and we literally walk in for soundcheck into an arena. We just played the Tacoma Dome, and the Target Center out in Minnesota. Tacoma Dome is out in Washington, it’s pretty surreal. Today we’re playing a club out in Pittsburgh. We’re excited about it because arenas are so big and so grand, sometimes we question ourselves and if we’re at that scale yet. We just rock it and give it our all, and it allows us to be better musicians.

How have your friends and family taken to seeing you in places like that, seeing you on TRL?

My family is excited. They are very proud. I mean, I’m a musician, and I’m here and there and everywhere and no one can really locate me. They all contact me through email, and MySpace and they’re starting to text message now. It gives them excitement and fulfillment too.

I was listening to your album, and I know the songs themselves are grand and very lush. I was hearing a lot of U2 and even some Coldplay in there. What were some of the influences that you brought onto the album?

For me, one of my huge influences is a band called The Verve. Even before “Bittersweet Symphony”, they had an amazing sound, and an amazing way about them. My friend and I call them a PSG, which is a “Pot Smoking Groove.” I try and incorporate the Brit rock feel with what we do. That’s kind of what my influences are. I’ve also grown up listening to hip-hop. You know, I incorporate the alt rock sound with Brit rock and hip hop, and Ryan brings in the Pop. It all meshes well together.

A lot of your inspiration comes from a great UK band, and you’ve had a lot of success in the UK. How has the reaction been to the music worldwide?

It’s crazy. It’s actually hard to keep up. We hear things everyday about some station playing our stuff a hundred times. In, I don’t even know what city, what country. We’re trying to keep up, but playing here and playing there, we’re losing that battle. It’s a hard road.

Speaking of being out there and keeping up, where can we see you now?

In February we’re going to tour in London, Germany and the UK. In March we’re going to be touring in Australia with Maroon 5.

“Apologize,” is the first single, you’re working it hard, but do you know what the next single is going to be?

Yeah I do. It’s actually being serviced in the radio right now, more on the West Coast. It’s “Stop and Stare.”

Great. Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans before we go?

We are humbled and we want to thank you. Keep checking in, hit us up on our Myspace page. Myspace.com/OneRepublic or our website, OneRepublic.net!
