In the not so distant past, Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, lead singer of acclaimed, multi-platinum-selling soul-pop outfit Fitz and The Tantrums, admits he would often second-guess himself when writing new music. Following the band’s breakthrough 2013 album, More Than Just a Dream, not to mention a slew of massive hit singles that followed including “Out of My League,” “The Walker,” and “HandClap,” suddenly, Fitz said, “I’ve got all these other little voices in my head swirling around: ‘What do people want?’ ‘What do the fans want?’ You just get all these other things that start to influence you both consciously and subconsciously.” As a direct reaction to this, over the past year, as the band wrote and recorded their forthcoming sixth studio album, Man On The Moon (due on July 25 via Atlantic Records), the singer says he decided to instead throw caution to the wind so as to feel more free in the creative process than at any time during his career to date.
