HANSON RELEASE NEW ALBUM, ‘RED GREEN BLUE’

HANSON have finally released their highly anticipated new album, ‘RED GREEN BLUE’. Out today, the album comprises three solo-led projects from Taylor, Isaac, and Zac Hanson, and marks the band’s milestone 30th anniversary by bringing together the band’s three unique creative voices like never before, with a third of the album written and produced by each brother:  Taylor’s ‘RED’, Isaac’s ‘GREEN’, and Zac’s ‘BLUE’. ‘RED GREEN BLUE’ is available now on vinyl, CD, and digital at all retailers.  

Today, HANSON will be hosting an album listening party on YouTube at 11am ET. Then on May 27 at 5pm (EDT and PDT) SiriusXM’s “Artist Confidential” with HANSON will air on 90s on 9 and on the SXM App.  The special will be hosted by Lisa Loeb and feature the band performing music from ‘RED GREEN BLUE‘, fan-favourites, and discussing their career as “Mmmbop” celebrates its 25-year anniversary.

RED GREEN BLUE‘, which was produced by the band along with GRAMMY® Award-winning Producer/Engineer/Mixer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco) and GRAMMY® Award-winning Artist/Producer David Garza (Fiona Apple, Midland). amplifies the band’s unique trifecta of sound in a new way which was highlighted through the release of three singles, one featuring each brother. Starting with Taylor’s emotive “Child At Heart,” followed by Isaac’s country strummer “Write You A Song,” and finally Zac’s rock-infused “Don’t Let Me Down,” each song release was a clue to the unique musical influences which make up the project and was accompanied by dynamic official music videos available for streaming now via YouTube.

“Going into our 30th year as a band we felt like it was imperative we continue to tell our story like only we can,” says Isaac Hanson, “and telling stories in ways that will continue to challenge us to grow and give people new reasons to listen. RED GREEN BLUE is about sharing what has made us a band that has been able to weather so many storms.”  

“Our love and respect for Jim Scott has only grown since we first met 20 years ago,” says Taylor Hanson. “He has been behind some of our favourite albums, so it’s an absolute joy to have finally made a project together.”  

“We have had a long friendship and deep connection with David Garza since our early days as a band,” says Zac Hanson. “We could not have had a better musical collaborator for this milestone project.”
