There’s no mistaking that 2008 is shaping up to be an incredible year for OneRepublic. They already have two top five smash hit singles – “Apologize” and “Stop and Stare” – under their belt. Their debut album ‘Dreaming Out Loud’ peaked at #2 in the UK album charts, shipped Gold in its first week of release and has stayed in the Top Ten for six weeks straight.

Proving that there are more hits stashed away in their locker, this summer OneRepublic return with their stunning third UK single “Say (All I Need)” released June 2nd, 2008 through Mosley Music Group/Interscope Records. The B-side will be a striking version of Duffy’s “Mercy”, which the band covered on Jo Whiley’s Live Lounge.

Watch OneRepublic – “Say (All I Need)” video:

“Say (All I Need)” is a spine-tingling rock ballad, and is produced by Greg Wells. The video to accompany the single was shot against the romantic backdrop of Paris and features a cameo from rocker Chris Cornell.

OneRepublic will be playing a sold-out show at Shepherds Bush Empire on May 12th, 2008 having already impressed fans at their packed-to-the-rafters debut live show at Kings College London last month.

Also cementing their status in the UK, they’re confirmed to play this year’s Radio One’s Big Weekend as well as the Channel 4 stage at V2008 sharing the bill with artists like The Courteeners, Kaiser Chiefs and The Zutons.
