- (1888PressRelease) December 07, 2012 - LOS ANGELES, CA - Ron Pope announced today the release date for his brand new EP "Monster" showcasing three brand new tracks- to drop worldwide on December 18, 2012. In support of the new music, Pope will embark on a headlining tour across Europe, which will span over 11 countries in 18 days, kicking off in London, UK on January 4 2013. Aside from the new music from "Monster" Pope will also be featuring music from his recent full album release "Atlanta: The Deluxe Edition" [September 2012.]
"Monster" will feature 3 new tracks, written and recorded from the ground up in only two days: "Monster", "Writing Letters", and "Brooklyn." The EP was recorded at Soularium Studios in Alpine, Utah and was produced by Pope and Kyle McCammon. Of the EP, Pope shares, "We went into the studio in the middle of a very long tour with absolutely nothing, and two days later, came out with these great songs. I just wanted to try something new and see where it took me. Luckily, we ended up with tunes I really dig - and here we are, heading out on tour to share them with the fans."
Pope broke onto the music scene in 2008, after being asked by Total Request Live [TRL] on MTV to be a featured performer. His single, "A Drop in the Ocean" had started to make waves in the music scene, garnering the attention of MTV, music labels, and hundreds of thousands of fans who started to buy his music online. Choosing to pursue his music career as an independent artist, Ron has sold close to 1.5 million digital singles since he got his start on TRL, and one of his most notable singles, "A Drop in the Ocean" has sold over a half a million copies. The song still garners millions of plays, with one fan-made video acquiring a staggering 21 million views online [and growing.] His music has also been showcased on hit television series over the last year, such as The Voice [NBC], Vampire Diaries [CW], 90210 [CW], and So You Think You Can Dance [FOX]. The placements have sent two of his albums into the top 100 on all of iTunes simultaneously.
