California singer-songwriter, Ryn Weaver, real name Aryn Wüthrich, has released her debut artist album The Fool via Mad Love/Interscope Records. The 22-year-old burst onto the scene when she uploaded her debut single "Octahate" on soundcloud without much promotion behind it. The track was picked up by blogs all across the Internet, went viral quickly and was played millions of times. The track was co-written by Charli XCX, Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos, Cashmere Cat and Benny Blanco, who is credited with finding the singer. Blanco, Cashmere Cat, real name Magnus Høiberg, and Angelakos all produced the track. This fueled high expectations for her upcoming releases and debut full-length effort, which was first previewed on iTunes radio last week and has now released in full on all portals including Spotify and iTunes.
You can stream the album below on Spotify, including previously released singles "Octahate," "Promises" and "Runaway." The entire album was co-written by Weaver with Benny Blanco and Michael Angelakos and produced by the pair.
The 11-track album covers a wide range of different styles with varied production from Angelakos and Blanco. Tracks range from soft, folky tracks like "Traveling Song" to more upbeat and indie-electronic tracks that are Angelokos' strong suit, such as "Promises."
Ryn Weaver has been touring extensively over the past few months in anticipation of The Fool, performing at festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo and will continue to appear at festival and theater shows across the United States throughout the summer. She is celebrating the release of The Fool tonight in New York City at Rough Trade and will continue on the festival circuit with major events like Pemberton Music Festival, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Firefly, Outside Lands and capping things off at the legendary Austin City Limits.
