Walk The Moon
Jul 21, 2021
Cincinnati’s Walk The Moon have returned with an exciting drop of three new songs. The first single “Can You Handle My Love??” which was a collaboration between Walk The Moon, Tommy English (BORNS, Kacey Musgraves, Andrew McMahon) and K.Flay and produced by Tommy English and Mike Crossey comes alongside a colorful and dynamic music video which was shot in Los Angeles last month. Alongside “Can You Handle My Love??” comes new tracks “Giants” and “I’m Good” rounding out the first new taste of Walk The Moon music in over a year. The band has been in the studio, working remotely in many cases, finishing up their highly anticipated fourth studio album titled Heights which will be released this fall. With the band members separated from each other and from their producers, they often collaborated virtually, building this new body of work in a way they never have before.
When asked about “Can You Handle My Love,” Walk The Moon lead singer, Nicholas Petricca explained, "'Can You Handle My Love??' is a song about how trying to be perfect is totally ridiculous. Whoever hears these songs, I want them to be reminded of what they love about life."
Walk The Moon consists of Petricca (singer/keyboardist), Eli Maiman (guitarist) and Sean Waugaman (drummer). In 2015, the band catapulted to stardom when their hit single “Shut Up and Dance”, which is included on their RIAA Certified Platinum album Talking Is Hard, became a multi-platinum global smash. Throughout their career, the band has had a slew of honors including winning two Billboard Music Awards, and nominations for an MTV Music Video Award for Best Rock Video, American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Duo Or Group, New Artist Of The Year, and Favorite Alternative Rock Artist and iHeart Radio Music Award for Best Duo/Group Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Alternative Rock Song Of The Year for “Shut Up And Dance.” Walk The Moon’s third album, 2017’s “What If Nothing,” included the #1 single “One Foot.”
This fall, Walk The Moon will hit the road on their “Dream Plane” tour which kicks off September 20th in Tampa.
