Listen To Emblem3 : Nothing To Lose

During an interview on the blue carpet of the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, "X Factor" alums Emblem3 told Billboard some news on their plans for the near future.

"The album is done," announced band member Drew Chadwick. "We cut 22 songs and we had to choose 11 songs out of that. We got the cream of the crop of all the songs."

According to the trio, who signed to Columbia and Simon Cowell's Syco Records following their time on "The X Factor," the album's official release date is still to be determined, although fans can expects it some time during "mid-summer." The album was executive produced by Savan Kotecha and will feature collaborations from fun.'s Jake Antonoff, Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, and Swedish songwriters Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub, who've worked with One Direction and Nicki Minaj.

Emblem3's Wesley Stromberg was mum on announcing the LP's title. "We're still in a debate on it," he said during the pre-show interview. "I can't say it fully. But it's going to be cool."

However, they did confirm that they'll be going on tour with fellow BBMA guest Selena Gomez, as the "Come and Get It" diva's opening act. Beginning Aug. 14 in Vancouver, B.C., the lengthy tour will run through late November and hit the major markets in Canada, Europe, and the United States.

Nothing To Lose Review
Admittedly, when looking at the "The X Factor" darlings Emblem3’s album cover, it’s easy to sigh and assume we have another 1D on our hands. But Emblem3 in no way compares to One Direction…because this group is so much better.

Although appearing to fall into the tired boy band genre, Emblem3’s debut album, Nothing To Lose, proves that there really can be a healthy mix between youthful emotions and more daring adult lyrics. Refreshing is an understatement.

With 13 songs that range from praises of Los Angeles to a bold declaration of love for some random girl named Chloe, it’s apparent that the trio is singing about that they really believe in and enjoy.

With an iTunes classification of “rap," Nothing To Lose presents mostly hip-hop and even some reggae sounds. Mixed and layered with pop lyrics, the result is something unheard before. The trio really does not come off as cookie-cutter pop artists, yet simultaneously their sound is the catchiest thing I have heard all summer.

Especially noteworthy songs on the album include the ultra-catchy “Just For One Day” and their first single “Chloe (You’re The One I Want).”

The music world is taking note of these newcomers! The Teen Choice Awards 2013 will provide a platform for the guys to shine as they are nominated for “Music Breakout Group,” and they will also be presenting that night. This fall, Emblem3 will embark on a nation-wide tour opening for Selena Gomez for her Stars Dance show, including a stop at Staples Center in L.A. in November.
