Lifehouse
was formed in Los Angeles by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jason Wade,
bassist Bryce Soderberg and drummer Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. as Blyss in
1999, attracting the attention of producer Jude Cole and eventually,
veteran A&R executive Michael Ostin, who signed the band to
DreamWorks for their 2000 debut, No Name Face, which produced “Hanging
by a Moment,” a #1 Modern Rock hit which crossed over to become Top 40’s
Most Played Song, peaking at #2 on the Hot 100.
Since 2000, Lifehouse have released seven albums that have cumulatively sold 15 million around the world.
“Hanging
by a Moment,” (#2 Hot 100, #2 Pop Songs), “Sick Cycle Carousel,”
“Breathing” and “Everything” all come from the band’s debut album No
Name Face, which peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200, and has since gone
on to sell more than four million copies worldwide, almost three million
in the U.S.
“Spin”
and “Take Me Away” are taken from the band’s second album, 2002’s
Stanley Climbfall, while the eponymous 2005 album produced the dual
chart-topping Top 5 smash ballad “You and Me” (#1 at both Adult Top 40
and Adult Contemporary, #5 Hot 100, #4 Top 40, #4 Pop Songs) and
“Blind.” The album itself debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200 and was
eventually certified platinum.
Who
We Are, released in 2007, contributes the multi-format hits “First
Time” (#3 Adult Top 40, #17 Adult Contemporary, #16 Mainstream Top 40),
“Whatever It Takes” (#3 Adult Top 40, #10 Adult Contemporary), and the
radio version of “Broken” (#7 Adult Top 40). Their collaboration with
Kevin Rudolf, “Halfway Gone” (#2 Adult Top 40, #12 Adult Contemporary,)
“Falling In,” “All In” (#6 Adult Top 40), “From Where You Are” and “It
Is What It Is” are all from the band’s fifth studio album, Smoke &
Mirrors, originally released in 2010.
“Between
the Raindrops,” their collaboration with British singer Natasha
Bedingfield, was the lead single from their sixth studio album, 2012’s
Almeria, scoring on three separate Billboard charts (#21 Adult Pop
Songs, #27 Adult Alternative Songs, #79 Hot 100). The compilation’s
final track, “Hurricane,” is from the band’s 2015 indie Ironworks Music
release, Out of the Wasteland, which went to #30 on the Hot Adult chart
and #31 at Adult Pop Songs.
Lifehouse’s
music has always been radio-friendly, but the band’s success is as much
for lead singer/guitarist Jason Wade’s “sonorous” vocals and spiritual
songwriting as it is for the band’s well-honed cohesion as performers.
As he once explained about his creative process: “I’m comfortable being
myself. The songs I’ve written that have connected to the most people
have occurred when I’m not worrying about how everyone will react. I’m
writing from an honest place, alone in my room not thinking about who’s
going to hear it, what they’re going to think or how they’re going to
interpret it. The lyrics can’t be contrived. They have to hit you right
in the heart.” Lifehouse: Greatest Hits does just that.
