Fans who were bummed when Metro Station's original members broke up will be pumped to welcome the return of Trace Cyrus and his new project, Ashland HIGH. Cyrus has taken the production reins, writing all the lyrics and singing all of the songs himself. Ashland HIGH's debut album, Geronimo, was recorded at Cyrus' home studio in November and he released it as a free download for fans on New Year's Eve. We didn't know New Year's also came with presents!
The first video and single from Geronimo is "Jealous Lover." According to Cyrus, it's about how "it is so easy to fight and be jealous when you should just be happy and in love." Trace practices what he preaches in the video, where he and his love interest are seen traipsing happily around Venice Beach -– dancing at a party, shopping, hanging out at the beach. It's all so sunny! Well, until the fighting sets in. "So take a little cue from a jealous lover, what's not yours is mine/So go and take a hint from a jealous lover, there's no compromise," he sings. "I'm playing to win, playing to win." It ends rather tragically (ain't that the way with love songs?).
Moral of the story -– take it from Cyrus: "Just be happy and in love."
