Emmyn Calleiro, known by the moniker Games We Play, has announced his highly anticipated debut full-length album, Life’s Going Great, which is set for release on October 6th through Fueled by Ramen/DCD2. Those eagerly anticipating the album can find pre-order and pre-save options available.
In “Life’s Going Great,” Calleiro paints a vivid picture of his experiences over the past year, encapsulating both his fulfilled aspirations and the formidable challenges he faced. Reflecting on the album, he states, “This record captures the essence of my life during the past year—a blend of realizing my long-held dreams while simultaneously confronting the toughest obstacles I’ve ever encountered.”
Alongside the album announcement, Games We Play has unveiled a raw and emotionally charged single titled “too young.” Expressing the significance of “too young.,” Calleiro shares, “This song holds an unprecedented place in my heart. It embodies a level of honesty and vulnerability that I’ve never before achieved in my music. I’m eager for you to listen, though admittedly, also feeling a sense of nervousness.”
In support of the album, Games We Play is embarking on his inaugural North American headline tour, named the Life’s Going Great Tour. Starting on October 13th at Vancouver’s Fortune Sound Club, the tour will traverse key cities across the continent and make a stop at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas, NV on October 21st-22nd.
