Yesterday, Billboard had the privilege of premiering the new song by Picture This ‘Troublemaker’. Today, it was officially released for fans around the world to hear.
The pop track has undertones reminiscent of Beatles rock and is inspired by lead singer Ryan Hennessy’s past relationship with a ‘Troublemaker’. Speaking to Billboard, he said “‘Troublemaker’ is a song about a love that seems doomed and volatile, but has so much spark and excitement that you just can’t seem to let it go.”
With over 6,000 plays on Spotify in only a few hours, the song is off to a good start. The lyric video was also released today, and gained 1,000 views in the first hour. Following earlier release ‘Winona Ryder’, ‘Troublemaker’ is the second track from the forthcoming studio album which is set to come out later in 2020. This will be the third album from the band, released via Republic Records.
Recently, Picture This joined other bands and artists in the ‘Together At Home’ campaign run by the World Health Organization and Global Citizen. They will continue their collaboration this weekend for the ‘One World: Together At Home’ special, where fans will be able to hear the new track live for the first time.
Picture This band members consist of Ryan Hennessy (vocals), Owen Cardiff (guitar), Cliff Deane (bass), and Jimmy Rainsford (drums). The group became popular in 2015 when Hennessy uploaded a sample of the song ‘Take My Hand’ to Facebook and YouTube, receiving over 4 million views across all platforms. They went on to tour in multiple countries and release two albums ‘Picture This’ and ‘MDRN LV’.
The Irish band have UK tour dates planned for summer 2020 which are currently going ahead, but this is likely to change upon government advice regarding Covid-19. Check out the full dates below and keep updated on their website.
