RYAN CABRERA has announced today that his long-awaited new EP WAKE UP BEAUTIFUL will be released Tuesday, March 3 via Dynamite Music/Caroline. The platinum-selling pop singer, songwriter, musician's first single from the collection, "House On Fire," is out now on iTunes and all other digital retailers, and will officially impact radio this Monday (1/12). The upbeat, feel-good track has received early support from radio immediately following its premiere on SiriusXM Hits 1 and is already climbing the Hot AC chart. In other exciting news, RYAN will hit the road this spring in support of the new music; dates and ticket info will be announced this Friday (1/9).

"It's organic pop music," says CABRERA of WAKE UP BEAUTIFUL. "[Producer] Justin Gray and I hit it off immediately. We were in a room together, jamming on everything. We weren't trying to be anything or fit any kind of mold. It was just music we dug. I started writing all of these fun, positive, and uplifting songs. My whole perception had changed. Every song tells its own story."

RYAN recently shot the music video for "House On Fire" with acclaimed video director Christian Lamb (Madonna, Borgore, Tori Amos). The video was shot in Los Angeles and up along the picturesque California coast, perfectly capturing the song's carefree, live-in-the-moment spirit. Look for the video--which will feature a few surprise cameos--to debut in the coming weeks. A lyric video for "House On Fire" debuted last November; watch it here.

"'House On Fire' is about burning everything down and being crazy while you can," RYAN explains. "You're living in the moment and enjoying everything you do. A lot of people are afraid to let themselves go, be passionate, and express their feelings. You've got to burn it all down-even if just for one night. Let loose and go nutty! It feels great."

The song is a perfect blend of the sound his fans have come to love from RYAN, while also pushing forward to a new, mature sound. His knack for writing infectious and emotive songs remains strong, and "House on Fire" is garnering early support from fans and media. Lucas Villa of AXS.com noted, "With the usual guitar are hints of electronica that carry the singer-songwriter through upbeat track...Ryan sounds poised to set hearts ablaze once again with this shining and free-spirited anthem." (10/23/14) Popdust.com's Jason Scott called the track "an arena-sized rock-tinged anthem," and went on to say, "'House On Fire' is a searing undertaking and hoisted by electronic-dance elements and an ear-worm hook, Cabrera is on to something here. Smashing the Hot 100 is automatic, right?" (10/24/14)

RYAN--known for his massive pop hits including "On The Way Down," "True" and "Shine On"--is also putting the finishing touches on a full-length album that will come later this year. This will mark his first album release in nearly seven years. He is working with a collection of acclaimed producers and songwriters such as Justin Gray (Mariah Carey, Joss Stone, John Legend, Amy Winehouse, Luis Fonsi), DJ White Shadow, aka Paul Blair, (Lady Gaga), Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera, Ed Sheeran, Celine Dion), Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift, Colbie Caillat), Andrew Fromm (Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Selena Gomez) and acclaimed mixers Tony Maserati (Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz) and Chris Lord-Alge (Miley Cyrus, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Daughtry), as well as collaborating with fellow musicians and friends Evan Ross and Travis Clark from We The Kings.
