Wild Rivers – have released their new album ”Better Now” + dropped new single ”Still The One”

Just three months after the release of their acclaimed album, Never Better, Platinum-selling trio Wild RiversKhalid Yassein, Devan Glover and Andrew Oliver—is back today with a new companion album, Better Now, via Nettwerk Music Group. In conjunction with the release, the official music video for album track, “Still the One,” is also out now.

Produced by Wild Rivers and Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy, Adrienne Lenker), Better Now consists of eight tracks that complement Never Better, as the group dives deeper into the complicated, confusing and unknown realities of life in their twenties, and the personal growth they’ve found through it all. In celebration of the new music, the band was recently featured on “CBS Saturday Morning” performing three songs as part of their “Saturday Sessions” series: “Never Better,” “What Kind of Song” and “Thinkin’ Bout Love.”
 
Of the project, Wild Rivers shares, “Better Now is our companion record, and the other side to Never Better. On the first record, the songs contain raw, absolute and instinctual feelings. In many ways, Better Now is the afterglow of this. We’re reflecting and understanding that relationships change over time. Complicated situations can be just that, complicated. Feelings can remain unresolved. If the first record is bright and bold, this one is the softer gradients in between; the sunrises and the sunsets. Both projects make up the full spectrum of who we are. Better Now is just the moodier, misunderstood one. Musically the records really are twins. We wrote all of the songs at the same time. Finishing Better Now, we really felt that it was the close of a massive musical and personal chapter. It’s bittersweet but so meaningful to be able to chronicle our lives between these projects. Ultimately, we are optimistic; ‘better now,’ after the ups and downs of the relationships and turbulence of our twenties. Hopefully we’re wiser for it.”
