In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jared Leto opened up about his new album, "It's the End of the World But It's a Beautiful Day." The album, which is set to be released on September 23, 2023, was written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, it is heavily influenced by the isolation and darkness of those times.
"This album was born into the early days of COVID," Leto said. "After my brother [bandmate Shannon Leto] and I wrote, you know, a dozen songs about isolation and those darker days."
The album's title track is a perfect example of this. The song is a powerful anthem about hope and resilience in the face of adversity. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always beauty to be found.
Another song on the album, "Love is the Way," is a more personal reflection on Leto's own experiences during the pandemic. The song is about the importance of love and connection, even when we are physically separated from the people we care about.
"This song is about the power of love," Leto said. "It's about how love can get us through anything."
The album also features a number of other songs that explore themes of isolation, hope, and resilience. These songs offer a unique perspective on the pandemic experience, and they provide a much-needed message of hope and optimism.
In addition to the personal and emotional impact of the pandemic, Leto also said that the album was influenced by the political and social climate of the time. "There was a lot of darkness and division in the world," he said. "But I wanted to make an album that was about hope and unity."
The album's final track, "Rescue Me," is a powerful call for unity and compassion. The song is a reminder that we are all in this together, and that we need to help each other through the tough times.
"This song is about the power of community," Leto said. "It's about how we can all come together to make the world a better place."
"It's the End of the World But It's a Beautiful Day" is a powerful and moving album that offers a unique perspective on the pandemic experience. The album is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always beauty to be found, and that love is the way.
In addition to the musical aspects of the album, Leto has also been working on a visual component to accompany the release. He has created a series of short films that will be released alongside the album. These films will explore the themes of the album in more depth, and they will provide a visual representation of the album's message of hope and resilience.
"I wanted to create something that would be more than just an album," Leto said. "I wanted to create something that would be a complete experience."
