Owl City has released the new galactic mission themed music video for ‘Alligator Sky’, off Adam Young’s latest album ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’, out June 14th on Universal Republic. ‘Alligator Sky’ features Los Angeles rapper Shawn Chrystopher.

“‘Alligator’ and ‘sky’ are two words that don’t really go together, but conjure up an image, which fits the idea of the song,” Adam Young explained. “It’s about how there are so many weird things coming at you every day. Why not just meet them head on and take charge even though you have no say over what’s going to happen? You and those around you are what matter most.”

Owl City’s Adam Young did an ‘Ask:Reply’ Q&A with Vevo, fielding questions from the site’s visitors about what inspired him to become a singer, what he likes to eat before performing, hip hop artists he looks up to, valuable life lessons he’s learned, how he thinks up his songs, and more. “I never really inspired to be a singer until being a singer was sort of thrust upon me,” Adam said in response to the first question. “I started programming and sequencing music in the box, in the computer, and need a vocalist at some point and nobody was around, so I thought I could give it a shot myself to save the hassle of finding somebody and suddenly they’re saying you need to go on tour and you need to play shows. So I’m thinking I’ve gotta learn how to sing because I don’t really know. I never sang before my parents or any of my friends or at church or anything, so it was really a zero to sixty thing but now that I’m a singer by trade it’s been a lot easier to own.” Watch the comments below.

Owl City is out with the music video to his new single ‘To The Sky’, featuring film footage from the animated movie ‘Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole’. Watch it via YouTube below.

Before rocketing to success with Owl City and ‘Fireflies’, Adam Young had a project called Sky Sailing. The Owatonna, Minnesota artist is set to release the first album as Sky Sailing, ‘An Airplane Carried Me To Bed’, via iTunes on July 13th.

“Three and a half years ago, I recorded a collection of songs in my parent’s basement during the bleary-eyed hours of night when sleep and I could not bring ourselves to meet,” Young writes. “I was a metalworker, working 6 AM to 4 PM at a warehouse in my little southern Minnesota town. I was writing, creating, thinking, imagining and breathing music with every second I had to spare.”

Preorder before the release and fans will get a free download of ‘Brielle’ immediately and a free bonus track when the album is digitally released. Watch an album preview below.
