Indie-rock/pop artist Fritz Hager has released his latest single, “Two Step,” along with a lyric video that pokes fun at the male fantasy in romantic comedies. The song’s satirical lyrics, written with Lucky West, are a playful take on romantic missteps and misunderstandings. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter uses his signature raspy alto and percussive guitar chords to deliver a humorous critique about the unrealistic expectations of love portrayed in the media.
Hager, a Top 5 finalist on American Idol, has become known for his catchy, witty, and satirical songwriting. His previous single, “Caroline,” was co-written by multi-platinum producer/songwriter Drew Pearson and pop/alternative songwriter Francisco Martin. The fictional story about a one-night stand gone wrong highlights Hager’s ability to blend humor with his indie-rock sound.
Devotees of Hager’s earlier creations will undoubtedly find delight in the infectious melody and witty lyrics of “Two Step.” With this latest release, Hager consistently provides a renewed outlook on the complexities of love and relationships. As he puts it, “I like finding the balance” between bringing sincerity into the mainstream and providing an escape through music.
