Senator and the New Republic push into new territory and fresh sound with digital release set for March 25th.

NEW YORK, NY, March 04, 2011

Adam Greenberg, front man of Senator and The New Republic, is starting the new year with a new single and new sound. "Smile to Pretend," the highly anticipated first release since 2010's self-titled debut album (produced by Grammy Award winning engineer Michael Tudor) is set for a digital release March 25th. Driven by poignant lyrics and Adam's haunting vocals "Smile To Pretend" sheds the sonic skin of previous efforts for a more stripped-back sound. The result is a new-fashioned flair that explores the terrain of The Nashville Sound made famous by Patsy Cline.

2010 was an incredible year for Senator and the New Republic. Upon releasing their acclaimed, self-titled debut album, the band was featured in two, back-to-back iTunes campaigns, though it was the highly coveted iTunes "Single of the Week" spot for the infectious single "Intermission" which made the most noise for the New York City band. Downloaded a remarkable 65, 000 times in its first day online, and registering 300,000 clicks the first week of September, Senator and The New Republic hit the road for what became a successful southeast tour, garnering an array of new fans and support along the way.

"Smile To Pretend," co-produced by Scott Hollingsworth and mastered by TW Walsh (Pedro The Lion) is just the first release in a series of singles slated for the band, which includes a pastiche of some of the industry's finest musicians and engineers such as: Scott Hollingsworth (Sean Lennon/Jesse Harris); Jack Petracelli (Rufus Wainwright/Joan Osbourne/The Fab Faux); Jason Hart (Rufus Wainwright/Duncan Sheik/Suzanne Vega) and Felipe Torres (Davy Jones).

"The reason we are releasing these songs as singles as opposed to an album" said Greenberg, "is that the songs are so very different from one another. I thought they should all stand alone. And this way I can give listeners a little something special every 2 or 3 months."

The next few months will undoubtedly prove an exciting time for front man Adam Greenberg and Co. Regardless of the mode of distribution, the result will definitely be a sound that effortlessly gallops toward a rich tapestry of hook-laden-guitar pop. Stay tuned for tour dates.
