Physical copies were initially exclusive to the official web store and would see wide release on February 12. Contents. History. Origins. Rivers Cuomo has credited producer Jake Sinclair with planting "the seed of an idea" for OK Human in 2017. "Just you and a piano, and an orchestra, and it's gonna be super-personal, quirky songs that only you could write, not worrying about commercial potential at all, [1] adding that Sinclair suggested he listen to the 1970 album Nilsson Sings Newman by Harry Nilsson. Cuomo had previously covered the Nilsson tune "Without You," originally written by members of the '70s band Badfinger. Cuomo said that he was excited from day one of the creative process for OK Human , and that the songs came quickly thereafter, with the album being "about 90% done" before he was made aware of the forthcoming Hella Mega Tour. Early promotion. Cuomo first confirmed the album's existence to Zane Lowe in January of 2019. Said Cuomo: "Our next album is not on the grid, we’ve just recorded the basic tracks there’s no click, no grid. We don’t have a real title, but the key word we have to inspire us at the moment is ‘masterpiece’. It’s produced by Jake Sinclair who did the White Album." Cuomo first mentioned the album's working title " OK Human " in an interview with Los Angeles Times published on February 22, 2019, about a week before the release of The Black Album . Cuomo described the album as "piano-based, very eccentric, with strings already recorded at Abbey Road." Cuomo mentioned that his influences for the album were George Gershwin and Harry Nilsson (specifically, the album Nilsson Sings Newman ). Cuomo also confirmed the existence of another project tentatively titled Van Weezer . In a July 2019 interview by the music outlet All Things Loud, Brian Bell described the album as being "about technology and how it’s running our life". Said Bell: In an interview with Spanish magazine MondoSonoro[2], Bell described the basis of the album as "a string section", and that the album would also feature acoustic guitars, a Hammond organ, and would sound very "airy and open". Bell also described the album as one of his favorite albums the band has made thus far. In an August 2019 interview with the Spanish blog Binaural, Bell confirmed that the album's string section was recorded before anything else, and suggested that Crush Management would prefer to release Van Weezer before OK Human . In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hella Mega Tour was postponed until 2021. On April 10, 2020, Cuomo stated on the video conferencing platform Zoom that, at the time, the album was 75% complete. He followed this up by stating the album would likely not be released in 2020. On April 16, he explained the premise to a fan as "very much a day in the life of [himself], but from a very private place." On May 14, Cuomo shared a photo via Snapchat of a studio, with visible sheet music titled "Dead Roses". On May 15, Cuomo confirmed in an interview with Mike Jones of the radio station DC101 that the string section was the first to be recorded for the album and that, at the time of the interview, only his piano parts were yet to be completed. On August 13, Weezer formally announced that Van Weezer was being postponed until May 2021 [3], simultaneously hinting that OK Human would release in the meantime, tweeting "More music coming for you Humans real soon, Ok ?" [4] On October 1 through the streaming platform TikTok , Cuomo revealed that the band had a photo shoot earlier that day, later confirming it to be "for the OK Human artwork and the whole album cycle". On November 16, Cuomo confirmed to users of Riverchat that the album was complete, adding that the radio mix for the first single was in the mixing process. On November 27, Cuomo clarified that there was no chance that a single would be released before the end of the year as "[the] music business shuts down after thanksgiving. And that's in a normal year." [5] On November 29, Karl Koch confirmed that OK Human would be releasing before Van Weezer via a comment on the Weezer Fan Club Facebook page. He added, however, that it would not be releasing as soon as originally promised. [6][7] On December 13, Koch stated during a Zoom video conference with the Weezer Fan Club that something "awesome" related to the album would be releasing in "the latter half of January" but did not clarify whether he was referring to the first single or the album itself. He also said that OK Human would have "the coolest album art [he's] ever seen". [8] Marketing. On January 5, Cuomo gave more info on the album to the users of Riverchat [9][10], describing how the album's instrumentation shifted over time to include a full orchestra (as opposed to only strings, as initially conceived). He also confirmed that the album had more than ten tracks. The same day, Barry Summers of the video production company Fantracks confirmed on Facebook that an upcoming "AR Sci Fi Movie Musical Adventure" based on OK Human would begin casting the following week, providing rough concept art for the video. On January 10, a preorder page for the vinyl pressing of the album was discovered on the website for the UK record store chain HMV, with a given release date of January 29 [11]. The page was removed hours after it was discovered. On the same day, a post reviewing the album was found on a Hungarian blog [12] which reinforced the January 29 release date and implied that the album would have 12 tracks. On January 12, several members of the Weezer Fan Club reported receiving 3½-inch floppy disks, mailed from a Los Angeles shipping center. The disks were labeled "Masterpiece" with the additional text: "Hi Human, open ReadMe.txt". The disks contained a photo of Rivers Cuomo's face superimposed over that of Bill Gates, as well as ASCII art by Joan G. Stark[13] and a website URL: http://everythingthatfeelssogoodisbadbadbad.com/ The URL led to a Spotify playlist including a track titled "ReadMe.txt" and attributed to "=m=asterpiece" consisting of a female synthesized voice reading a message (likely an allusion to the track "Fitter Happier" from Radiohead's OK Computer ): All my favorite songs are slow and sad All my favorite people make me mad Everything that feels so good is bad bad bad All my favorite songs are slow and sad. I don't know what's wrong with me. The first letter of each subsequent track on the playlist spelled out "OKHUMAN". The band's Twitter and Instagram promoted the playlist shortly thereafter with the message "Put a playlist together of all my favorite songs, enjoy!"[14] On January 18, OK Human was formally announced with a release date of January 29, with the lead single, "All My Favorite Songs" releasing on January 21. The announcement was initially announced through the website www.okhuman.space, which prompted users to solve a series of increasingly complex CAPTCHAs before revealing the album's release date. A brief teaser for "All My Favorite Songs" was released on YouTube January 19. Gallery. Facebook post by Barry Summers promoting "AR Sci Fi Movie Musical Adventure" based on OK Human. Weezer Did Not Bless The Rains Down In 'Africa' 26:00. Back in May, the rock band Weezer released a cover of the song "Africa," which was a hit back in 1983 for the yacht rock band Toto. Weezer's rendition of "Africa," which has a very unique origin story, has been all over pop radio stations this summer. But, in our opinion, it's not a very good cover. So, we wanted to break down how Weezer went so wrong with this song, while also looking at what makes a great cover song. Plus, it's an excuse to listen to some of our favorite covers of all time.
