The End is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter
Production and release
Fry composed and arranged the entire album. Composing the music in the album either began with drafting the arcs of the song with pencil and paper, or creating a demo with computer programs.[1] Regarding the music itself, he mainly composed what he would find enjoyable to do at the time of writing it.[3] The compositions were inspired by movie musicals, notably The Greatest Showman.[4] He then recorded the music with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra,[4][1] at Angel Studios in London.[5] The song "Waltz for Sweatpants" released June 23, 2023,[6] followed by "What If" on August 11,[4] and the full album on September 15, 2023.[7] "What If", "Waltz for Sweatpants", and "Fine" were accompanied with music videos.[4][8]
Themes
The End discusses themes of romance and
He expressed the concept of "the end" in the album to have a double-meaning: the first being the feeling of "the end of the world" during a panic attack, and the second being the conclusion of his career as an independent artist.[1] The album was released under Decca Records US, concluding his time as an independent artist and his first release with a label.[1] Fry had recently had a child,[3] and themes of beginning a new chapter of fatherhood would also inspire the themes on the album.[1]
