OneRepublic will release their new album “Oh my my” next week and now drop the single “A.I.” featuring frontman Ryan Tedder’s idol, Peter Gabriel.
The track, written by Ryan Tedder himself, Peter Gabriel, Brent Kutzle & Steve Wilmot, continues the band’s evolution into more electronic sounds, darkening the two bright pop numbers, “Wherever I Go” and “Kids,” they’ve already released.
The video for the song will evidently star actor Matthew Modine , most recently seen in “Stranger Things”. Seems random, but there is a connection: Modine also starred in the 1984 movie “Birdy”, for which Gabriel composed the soundtrack.
Lyrics:
‘Member when we met?
We fell in love on a Sunday
Yeah I’ll never forget
The way that you spelled my name
It took me a year
To find a new attraction
My hope and my fear
Is human interaction
Yeah I just want my love automatic
If artificial love makes sense
I just want your love, I’m an addict
Artificial intelligence
Artificial
Artificial
Remember when we met?
I got obsessed on a Monday
And I’ll never forget
I felt such a cliche
I’m wanting to be there
Dreaming of your soft skin
With no emotion
You can really make my head spin
Yeah I just want my love automatic
If artificial love makes sense
I just want your love, I’m an addict
Artificial intelligence
Yeah I just want my love automatic
If artificial love makes sense
I just want your love, I’m an addict
Artificial intelligence
Artificial
Artificial
I just want my love automatic
If artificial love makes sense
I just want your love, I’m an addict
Artificial intelligence
It’s all too real
Love the way you love me
Artificial intelligence
Way you love me
Love the way you love me
It’s so clear
You make everything inside me feel
Just automatic hurt
Bring me back tonight
Cause you’re intelligent, so real
So real
