A Great Big World When The Morning Comes

Grammy Award®-winning New York-based twosome A Great Big World has launched the pre-order for their eagerly anticipated new album When The Morning Comes, ahead of its release on November 13th through Black Magnetic/Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment Australia.

When The Morning Comes features the first single -Hold Each Other' featuring Futuristic, with the music video directed by Marc Klasfeld (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Katy Perry) out now on VEVO – watch it here.  The duo will perform -Hold Each Other' along with Futuristic and a four piece string section on November 13^th to commemorate album release, on NBC's The Today Show and ABC's Live with Kelly & Michael. They recently performed the track for its network TV premiere on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

-Hold Each Other' continues a tradition of thoughtful and unshakable anthems from A Great Big World that began with 2013's -Say Something' (with Christina Aguilera).  The #1 ARIA single went on to achieve 4 x Platinum accreditation, and won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance honors at this year's 57^th annual Grammy Awards®.  The video for the worldwide hit boasts more than 237 million YouTube views to date. -Say Something' propelled AGBW's debut album, Is There Anybody Out There?, to a #3 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart and Top 3 on the Australian iTunes Charts.  

About A Great Big World:

The magical journey of A Great Big World –  Ian Axel and Chad King – began in the music practice rooms of NYU (New York University) where the two were attending college.  In 2012, after a few twists and turns of fate, the friends formed A Great Big World and released a six-song EP funded by Kickstarter.  It spawned the viral sensation -Everyone Is Gay' and -This Is the New Year,' which was performed by the cast on Fox's Glee. 

Soon after, Black Magnetic/Epic Records offered the duo a deal, and issued -Say Something' as their first official single in 2013.  Its terse, tearful piano and Axel's heavenly hypnotic vocals tugged on heartstrings, and struck a chord.  After hearing it during a pivotal segment of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, Christina Aguilera fell in love with the song.  She collaborated with AGBW on a new recording of the track that they subsequently performed together on NBC's The Voice, which launched it to #1 on iTunes.  More TV performances followed (The American Music Awards, The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show), culminating with the song's release on AGBW's debut album, Is There Anybody Out There? (January 2014).

-Say Something' ultimately occupied the #1 spot on iTunes, ARIA Singles Chart, Billboard's Digital Songs, as well as Spotify and Shazam, in addition to going Top 10 on sales charts in 19 countries.  After turning in a riveting performance at Clive Davis' prestigious annual pre-Grammy® party in January 2014, A Great Big World toured from May through August across the U.S. and Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.

For the remainder of 2014 into 2015, A Great Big World was hard at work on new music that they were eager to present to their legions of fans across the globe.  The release of -Hold Each Other' in July 2015 set the stage for the arrival of their second album When The Morning Comes in November.
