Hunter Hayes is dishing about his time on The Masked Singer!
The 28-year-old “I Want Crazy” singer was revealed to be behind the Astronaut mask on Wednesday (April 29) night’s episode of the singing show.
Hunter spoke about what goes on backstage and how the artists communicate with each other.
“Everything was so wild and strange. It’s all weird! Every step of it is bizarre, even if you want to make friends with other cast members, you can’t until you leave the show,” he told Us Weekly. “I never saw the stage or any of the spaces I worked in, until the last day. It was so strange.”
“I’m standing backstage with the super nine — this 9-foot tall tiger and all these other characters. I wanted to talk to them, but couldn’t,” Hunter added. “There’s a lot of cryptic code sign language and fist bumps. Those were our interactions!”
Hunter also shared on who he was inspired by and who he’s rooting for to win.
“I was so inspired by JoJo Siwa’s energy and she’s had such a wild career and such a great spirit and I can’t wait to see what’s next for her,” he said.
“We just got to be friends even in the masks. I think our connection was that it didn’t feel like a competition,” Hunter added about the Turtle. “It was about being there in the performance and Turtle and I were put in these competitive situations, but we weren’t out to get each other. We really both just love what we do and we got along so great!”
Bluebird is an upcoming documentary that looks at the 35-year history of Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Cafe, unearthing never-before-told stories from those that have worked, played, been discovered and helped preserve this unassuming strip-mall haunt that is the bedrock of American songwriting.
If you didn’t know, the Bluebird cafe was heavily featured in Nashville, where Sam, Clare and Charles‘ characters performed at often.
Hunter Hayes stops by Music Choice during his trip to New York City on Friday morning (August 16).
The 27-year-old musician just dropped his new album, Wild Blue Part I. Go listen here!
Hunter spoke with Billboard about breaking the full project into a trilogy, citing that there’s tons of “heart and soul” throughout it.
“I wanted [this album] to be part of a bigger picture. I didn’t want to just put out an album and forget about it in two weeks. I know that there’s more of the story to tell that I haven’t figured out how to tell or lived and I don’t want to separate it,” he continues. “I want it to all be part of one gallery showing and I want to keep adding to the gallery because there’s so many parts that will make other parts make more sense.”
Hunter added, “I’ve always wanted to do a double record or whatever and so this was my chance to say, ‘OK, if I’m ever going to do it and try it, see the works, this is it.’ This is my chance to really like just live this and go as deep as I can.”
New Hunter Hayes music is here and we are so happy!
The 27-year-old musician originally intended to debut his new album, Wild Blue Part I, in October, but surprised fans with an early release.
“As soon as we wrote ‘Wild Blue,’ I went into every conversation or co-write with that idea in mind and it led to some of the most honest realizations about myself and how I approach love and relationships. I’m so thankful for this journey and the path it’s set me on personally and professionally,” Hunter shared with The Tennessean about the album title.
He also shared that he hopes “people hear the hope in its message.”
“There is this sense of flight,” Hunter adds. “Feeling that freedom and kind of loving the starting-over aspect of it. When you’re holding on to too many things, there’s no way you can possibly do that.”
Wild Blue includes 10 tracks, including “Heartbreak,” “One Good Reason,” “Dear God” and “One Shot.”
