February 9th, 2017 Los Angeles, CA - Indie pop artist The Wild Wild has premiered his latest single "Alright" today! Fans can exclusively stream the track via Fuse here: https://goo.gl/OOQCq7. "Alright" will be available for purchase and streaming via Spotify and Apple Music tomorrow, February 10th!

 

The Wild Wild, aka Benjamin Dunn, initially wrote "Alright" as a personal mantra. "I just started singing, 'Everything's going to be alright' and it felt really good." He told Fuse, "The song screams about rebelliously remaining happy even in the midst of the craziness out there." Written and recorded in Los Angeles, "Alright" boasts production credits from Grammy-award winner Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Rolling Stones, fun.) and encapsulates the carefree energy of the LA sun. Fuse called the track, "the uplifting indie-pop you need this week."

 

Following projects as Benjamin Dunn & Friends and later Benjamin Dunn & The Animal Orchestra, Benjamin Dunn emerged in 2013 as The Wild Wild with his independent debut. "Alright" marks his latest release under his new moniker and follows his 2016 EP Kids, released through Descendant Records. The project featured standout single "When We Were Young," showcased in the hit film "Middle School." The track garnered over 4 million plays on Spotify in less than six months,with the accompanying visuals reaching more than 40k views on YouTube. Additionally, Vevo shared The Wild Wild's exclusive performance of "When We Were Young" via their popular DSCVR Program, here:  https://goo.gl/XLOlsk.

 

Currently based outside of Philly, Dunn has spent the past few years writing and developing his artistry with plans to return to his west coast roots in the coming months. The singer-songwriter has had an interesting journey to say the least. Emancipated from his parents at age 16, he left his home in Illinois and headed for California. Two years later he abandoned his car in Venice, California and embarked on a journey across the country and around the world. Within the next decade, Dunn would become an ordained minister in the Midwest, work and teach in third-world countries and perform for victims of Hurricane Katrina. It wasn't until 2013 that Dunn even entered the world of music and he hasn't looked back.

 

In the years since, The Wild Wild has received praise from Sunset In The Rearview, Indie Obsessive, Baeble Music, The Music Ninja for his genuine and creative take on pop music. "I want to give something a little familiar...Showing that the familiar has always been magical, it's just that we stop looking for the sparkle in them."

 

"Alright" is the latest release from The Wild Wild, following 2016's Kids EP.
