Cumulus To Air Next Installment of 'Your Music First'

Thirty Seconds To Mars

Cumulus Media  has announced it will launch the fourth installment of its new multi-week audio series, Your Music First, featuring Thirty Seconds To Mars’ new single, “Stuck,” on Concord Records. The multi-part series will air over the next four weeks across Cumulus’ Mainstream Rock and Alternative stations nationwide and will share exclusive behind-the-scenes stories and observations from vocalist Jared Leto, and his personal insights into making the single. “Stuck” is featured on Thirty Seconds To Mars’ sixth album, “It’s The End Of The World, But It’s A Beautiful Day.”

Jared Leto co-founded Thirty Seconds To Mars with his brother Shannon and has been driven by their intuitive creative interplay ever since. The siblings wrote hundreds of new songs remotely over the last several years and specifically carved out 10 for the new album, inspired by the gamut of emotions and experiences through which they’ve navigated in the five years since the release of their chart-topping previous album, “America.”

The shows feature artist commentary on the song, with artists presenting different aspects of their song’s personal meaning, the inspiration behind the music, and insights on their life and career. Previous Your Music First campaigns have featured Valory Music Co. recording artist Thomas Rhett’s “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings),” Republic Records recording artist Shania Twain’s “Giddy Up!,” and Capitol Records Nashville recording artist Darius Rucker’s “Fires Don’t Start Themselves.”
