Ryan Egan Teases ‘Soft Power’ LP with New Single “We Do It On Purpose”

American singer/songwriter Ryan Egan has confirmed his debut full-length album, Soft Power, will drop on April 8th. Accompanying the announcement, the Paris, France-based artist unveiled his single, “We Do It On Purpose,” the third sample of his Kevin Basko-produced album (Foxygen, The Lemon Twigs).

Egan comments on the new song’s inspiration, stating:

“I was thinking back on my formative years as a kid growing up in suburban New Jersey, an experience so far from my adult life living between New York City and Paris, and for the first time appreciating a place that I’ve spent the last decade escaping. “I’ve been so laser focused on the future, that I became nostalgia-phobic. I still am somewhat. But throughout writing this album and then deciding to go home to produce it around the tri-state area (Philly, NYC, New Jersey) after months of being stuck in France during Covid lockdowns, I was homesick and feeling rather romantic about where I come from.”
