Michael Whalen - "In The Open Air" from His New Album

“In The Open Air” launches the first video from Emmy® Award-winning composer and recording artist Michael Whalen’s upcoming electronic album 'Standing Near Infinity.' The album comes out on June 5 and preorders are now available on major streaming platforms.

Fueled by the sound, color, and forward motion of the 1980s, this melodic, propulsive track sets the tone for a bold collection of new music. Press play, turn it up, and let it power your run, your drive, or your next deep headphone listen.
