When it arrives across digital platforms on the 1st, Yellow Boxes will join Ward’s other musical releases. He’s put out a prolific amount of music since he first appeared on the YouTube scene in the late 2000s. On iTunes, dozens of his releases are available, including several compilations of his cover songs. His most significant album to date is Honestly, an LP he released in 2013.
In a press release, Ward discussed his inspiration for the new album:
“This is a snapshot of my life this past year. For the first time I felt secure enough to write what I was really feeling and experiencing. Not with the the thought of, ‘that’s what they’ll want to hear.’ I’ll admit, I’ve done that in the past, worried about what people want to hear and how they will perceive me. So…Yellow Boxes was created. It’s a project that I wrote, produced, and recorded by myself, with no extra input. It had to be wholly from me, or it wasn’t going to capture the details of my world. The truth is, l love pop music, I love country music and I love honesty. The Yellow Boxes EP is a collection of pop songs with some country flare that represent me more than any other previous release. The trials of self discovery, addiction, failure, success, heartbreak, and the realization that life kinda sucks when you push people away. It has been an amazing experience and one I can’t wait to share.”
Fans who wish to experience Ward’s new music beyond his EP can catch him on his tour. He’ll hit 26 American cities before heading overseas to play shows in Holland, Germany, and Switzerland. Additional stops in Asia and Australia will be announced at a later date. If you don’t see your city on Ward’s schedule, don’t fret; he has left open the possibility of “secret shows” in unlisted locations.
