There comes a time in every artist’s career where they need to re-imagine, re-invigorate, and dream it all over again. For Third Day, that time was in the fall of 2011. Their touring was never better, their album Move was successful, the fans we super-engaged, and yet they felt it was time to shake things up. As they prepared to write and record their 16th album, Miracle, the band hired legendary producer Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, The Fray, Train) to help them forge a new sound. From the opening track, “Hit Me Like A Bomb”, it is clear that Third Day means business when they say they want to bring something new to the table.
Musically, there are sounds that have never been on a Third Day album including layered guitars, layered harmonies, and sing-a-long gang vocals. Music styles range from pulsating rock to acoustic pop-rock, yet the classic Third Day sound everyone loves is still there but refreshed and rejuvenated. Lyrically, the themes are relevant for our culture today. Songs about pressing on in difficult times (Your Love Is Like A River, I Need A Miracle), praying for change (Hit Me Like A Bomb, Believe In Something), and hope for better times (The Victory, Take Me Back).
The first single, “I Need A Miracle” goes for adds September 17th and will be supported with promo tours to radio and retail. Third Day will headline a major Spring 2013 tour and play all major summer festivals. The lead up to the album release on November 6 will feel like a major event to excite fans and build towards a blockbuster street week leading right into the holiday shopping season.
