Tyler Hilton has come a long way since his 2004 major label debut, 'The Tracks of Tyler Hilton,' which launched his mainstream career with Top 40 singles like 'When It Comes' and helped him land a recurring role on 'One Tree Hill.' Now Hilton -- who has no relation to Paris -- is back, and PopEater is excited to bring you the premiere of his new music video, 'This World Will Turn Your Way.'
"This song is the most blatantly hopeful song I've ever written. And though it might even border on naive, that's the only way I'm able to see a situation sometimes: stubbornly optimistic. So what better way to express that visually than with a kid making himself into a superhero instead of waiting around for one?" Hilton asks.
Hilton's upcoming record, 'The Storms We Share,' will be released later this year, and the 26-year-old singer hopes the album "communicates how we all have something in common," he says.
"I was spending a lot of time in the south and in Canada, and whenever there was a storm, you could be standing in line at the grocery store next to a stranger and they'd inevitably remark about the crazy weather. That's when it hit me: Everyone shares one common thing -- weathering the storms together. And that became a metaphor about recognizing that we all need to be encouraged to weather the storms. Sometimes you need to remind yourself that dreams can happen," Hilton recalls.
He also hopes to inspire change in the world with his new tunes.
"I would love to give people a tool to wade through all the bad times and make them feel really happy. Maybe that's naive to say, but I would love it if people listened to the songs and were inspired to do things that they didn't think they could do. That would be my ideal," he admits.
