Exclusive Premiere: American Authors Weave Hip Hop Inspiration into Pop-Rock With ‘Ghost’

Brooklyn pop-rockers American Authors recently kicked off anticipation for their upcoming album Oh, What a Life with the premiere of the debut single and video for “Best Day of My Life”. 

American Authors will release their debut album on March 3rd via Island Records (pre-order here) before embarking on a massive tour crisscrossing North America. In addition to the single launch, two more songs from Oh, What a Life, “Trouble” and “Think About It,” have already premiered on FUSE and AV Club, respectively. Keeping the ball rolling, CraveOnline has yet another exclusive new track premiere with the song “Ghost”.

“Ghost is a song about the skeletons that we all keep locked away,” the band explains of the track. “A lot of fun to record because it has a hip-hop inspired feel. We experimented with different synths and drum machines to get the right sounds on the record.” Listen below, exclusively on CraveOnline!
