Rising glam-pop artist Spencer Sutherland is announcing his headline EU & UK tour, starting in 2025, following his highly anticipated magnetic 3-act modern rock opera album, ‘The Drama’, which came out on October 4th.
Dripping with theatrical arena anthems and Spencer’s signature vintage flair, the album moves quickly and fiercely as he voyages through the excitement, heartbreak, and resilience that arise from chasing his dreams. A story composed of three acts, Spencer Sutherland’s latest album soars in to revive glam in the pop landscape. If pop music is planet earth, ‘The Drama’ has us strapped in and blasting off, in search of another sonic galaxy.
When sharing about the album, Spencer stated: “The Drama is what I like to call Opera Pop Rock. The rock n roll drive mixed with glamourized over-the-top lyrics makes you feel confident. If you were watching a movie of your life, wouldn’t you want to laugh and cry? What’s life without a little drama?”
Listen to ‘The Drama’ HERE
The first act begins with “Welcome To The Show!”, highlighting the excitement of the beginning of the journey of chasing a dream. Followed by the head-bopping tracks, “Alive” and “Let Me Loose”, squealing retro guitar accompanies Spencer’s layered harmonies about the possibilities of a hopeful future reality. And “Drama” is a quintessential rock n’ roll track that at once inspires and indulges – a fan favourite, “Drama” has garnered over 1.2M worldwide streams to date.
“Modern Heartbreak” is the ultimate raise-your-glass song. The track swoons and sighs with sentimental narration against a rueful, velvety piano backdrop as he laments the end of a relationship in the modern era. The sing-along anthem, “Hater” and Elvis-Presley-esque track, “Motherfucker”, sweep the listener into a groovy feel-good rock whirlwind of kitschy lyrics and broad electric guitar strokes.
Reminiscent of classic self-discovery anthems in the vein of Billy Joel’s “Vienna”, the second act begins with “A Tragedy!“ – a track brimming with all the heartbreak, loss and demotivation that comes with working towards a dream. The hopelessness and darkness are companioned by a sense of longing in “Melanie”, an achingly bittersweet acoustic ballad that showcases Spencer’s ability to hit slower, wistful moments alongside his roaring anthems.
The third act, kicking off with “God Save The Dream!”, is the reignition of love. With its snarky attitude and chip-on-your-shoulder acceptance, tracks like “Baby” and “Put Your Money On Me” lean into Spencer’s sparkling, newfound confidence and swagger. Rachel Platten (“Fight Song”)and her powerhouse vocals are kismet with Spencer’s in “Rocket”, a toe-tapping lovesick pop bop.
The album comes to a powerful, glitzy, stadium-worthy close with “Place Like This”, with Spencer reminding both himself and listener that by going through The Drama, you are able to learn that no one can ever take your dream from you.
‘The Drama’ comes hot on the heels of Spencer’s scintillating deluxe version of his debut album, ‘In His Mania’, which features fan-favourite single, “Chicken Little”, backed by global superstar Meaghan Trainor. No stranger to epic collaborations, Spencer is also expected to appear in “Black Demarco” off of A$AP Rocky’s late 2024 album release, ‘DON’T BE DUMB’.
A live performance powerhouse, Spencer is known for his effortlessly soulful vocals and timeless rock n’ roll musical stylings. Garnering much international excitement, he is gearing up to head out on an early 2025 tour throughout the EU/UK with added shows in Amsterdam and Cologne and upgraded venues throughout Germany and England as many dates are already selling out months in advance.
