In the following song, “Be Brave,” Young performs a ballad that recounts the night he met his girlfriend. Track 11, “Madeline Island,” brings the audience back to themes of the album’s first half by describing a beautiful vacation with a lover. “Cloud Nine,” the album’s ninth track, is a nice change of pace with its up-tempo pop beat and motivational lyrics, such as “Look up when the world gets you down, And you’re gonna get by, Hang in when the world counts you out, And you’re gonna be fine.” In an April 4 video on Owl City’s YouTube channel, Young said the song is about “learning to keep your head up even when you feel like the entire world is doing everything it can to bring you down.” With a similar theme, the next track, “Winners Never Quit,” includes ambitious instrumentals and lyrics. The song “Not All Heroes Wear Capes,” originally released in 2017 as a single, is a tribute to Young’s father. Track three, “All My Friends,” is a feel-good anthem with a guitar and simple drum beat. Cinematic’s first two tracks detail Young’s life, including his parents falling in love. Young uses the first eight tracks to tell personal, family-oriented stories. This 18-track album includes 15 new tracks and three alternate versions of previous songs. Although Cinematic is best classified as pop, it can also resonate with electronic or techno. The band is known for its two hit songs “Fireflies” and “Good Time,” fans have been waiting for Owl City’s return. After a three-year break, Owl City- which consists solely of musician Adam Young- is back with its newest album Cinematic, released June 1.
