Data Insight
The shortest record in the catalogue, and the one where outside producers get closest to the centre: Tyler Spry produces ten of the twelve tracks and John Nathaniel eight, alongside Tedder and Kutzle on eleven each. The writing does not move, with Tedder on all twelve and Kutzle on nine, so the change is in the room rather than on the page.
Human is OneRepublic's fifth studio album, released on 27 August 2021 through Mosley Music Group and Interscope. Twelve tracks running under thirty-five minutes, the band's shortest album, after two delays across 2020. It reached number 11 in the US and number 30 in the UK.
