An American rock band One Republic has released a new hit single Apologize together with Timbaland’s Timabaland Presents: Shock Value. In fact, many of us know Timbaland, but how many of us have heard of One Republic? Even the performer of the single Apologize, where the band does most of the singing is called “Timbaland feat. One Republic”.

One Republic’s members include Ryan Tedder – vocals, guitar, piano; Zach Filkins – guitar, vocals, Edie Fisher – drums, percussion; Brent Kutzle – bass guitar, cello, vocals; Drew Brown – guitar. Their single Apologize became a hit within the first weeks since its release day. Selling a huge number of digital downloads, the song has reached #2 of Hot 100 in October 27, 2007.

On August 2, 2007, One Republic performed Apologize live on Fox’a So you Think You Can Dance, and in October, 2007 they sang it on an episode of One Life to Live together with Timbaland.

The guys from One Republic have just finished recording their debut album under the title Dreaming Out Loud, which will be released on November, 20, 2007. There already is much speculation around this album, which is going to be a kick-ass creation. Let’s wait and see!
