Music News - Former Atlas frontman, Sean Cunningham unveils powerful new indie-rock single 'Whatever That Is'
05 April 2024 - 0 Comments
Nashville-based artist, and former frontman of record-breaking NZ rock band Atlas, Sean Cunningham is stepping into the solo-artist spotlight with his introspective new single Whatever That Is - out now!
No stranger to stardom, Sean has released music with several different projects over the past decade - including Atlas (2005-2008) - the career-launching band that brought the Louisville-raised artist to New Zealand. The group's single Crawl set a new record for the longest-running Number 1 hit in Kiwi history; saw radioplay across Aotearoa (Hauraki, The Rock, The Edge, ZM, More FM); and was nominated for an MTV Australian Music Video Award in 2008.
Today’s release launches an exciting new chapter for Sean Cunningham’s career. Whatever That Is is a deeply reflective song, filled with optimistic messages for what's to come.
Inspired by a conversation Sean had with his late father, just before he passed, he says they were “talking about how strange it is to be getting older, while still feeling like a kid. Still looking through the same eyes, thinking the same thoughts, making the same mistakes and just doing the best we can... Whatever That Is.”
This stirring new indie-rock, coming-of-age anthem incorporates tender finger-picked guitars, raw vocals, and epic instrumentation - which includes cinematic strings. Written alongside friend and collaborator Christian Trich, Whatever That Is was recorded and mixed by Joey Liechty at The Pantry, Nashville TN and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios, Finland.
With a stunning music video soon to be released, and a solo debut album dropping later this year, Sean Cunningham is a name you’re going to be hearing a lot - with today’s single Whatever That Is the perfect example why!
