GRAMMY® Award-winning recording artist Nate Ruess is set for a wide range of activity surrounding the release of his eagerly anticipated debut solo album. “GRAND ROMANTIC” – which features the hit single “Nothing Without Love” – arrives via Fueled By Ramen on June 16th.
Today Ruess revealed “Great Big Storm,” a new track from “GRAND ROMANTIC,” and the third that he has unveiled, following the first single “Nothing Without Love” and “AhHa”.
“Nothing Without Love” is an unqualified multi-format success, now climbing Billboard’s “Hot 100” while standing tall among the top 10 on Billboard’s “Hot Rock Songs” chart. In addition, the song’s companion video – directed by Anthony Mandler (fun., Rihanna, Taylor Swift) – has earned more than 3.6 million cumulative online views. “Nothing Without Love” is streaming now at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssVvkfcL9HI.
Named by VH1 as their “You Oughta Know” artist for the month of May, Ruess will celebrate “GRAND ROMANTIC” with a string of high profile TV appearances, getting underway tonight with a performance of “Nothing Without Love” on NBC’s The Voice (check local listings). Tomorrow, May 12th, will then see Ruess visit NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a very special performance backed by The Roots.

Last but certainly not least, Ruess will be honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s prestigious “Hal David Starlight Award,” established to honor gifted songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs.
