Owl City’s ‘Mobile Orchestra’ lands, Adam Young to visit ‘Today Show’
With Mobile Orchestra, Young dives deeper into his faith than ever before. “I definitely wanted to write in a way that pointed more directly to my faith and how important it is to me,” Young said in a recent interview with Guideposts.org. “I wanted to write a couple of songs that were really vulnerable and honest. I just imagined if I was feeling really lonely or down in the dumps, what’s the kind of song that I could really use?” Some examples on the album include “You’re Not Alone (feat. Britt Nicole),” which hit No. 1 on the Christian Hot AC/CHR chart and “My Everything,” which has a radio add date of July 31. Check out the “My Everything” music video, which recently debuted on Relevant.com.
“It’s songs like those that I hope at the end of the day can serve as encouragement for those who feel spiritually weary or tired,” Young told HearItFirst.com.
