As of right now, Mark Ballas may be best known for his work on Dancing With The Stars, but he is working to change all that with the release of something else quite dear to his heart, his new album, Hurt Love Box.
Released on Tuesday, the album shows off the singing and guitar skills of the former mirror ball champ, as he frolics through a host of songs like the surfy sounds of Hotwire, big emotive tunes like Life Happens and the radio pop of Way You Werk.
The thing he told sources that he believes is great about this album is it is very diverse. There’s a different style and different tempos, but guitar, lyrically and melodically, its all kind of cohesive with each other.
The 24 year old recorded the album mostly during the last season of DWTS and in the run up to season 12, something he was able to focus on after he wrapped up his ties with the Ballas Hough Band, which he confirmed is no more.
Again he said, its kind of like, I always do this gesture at gigs where I stand with one of my arms out like telling you to stop and with the other hand I kind of beckon you to come here, so its kind of how like women like to do that with men. But come a little closer, he laughed. As hard as that is to endure as a man, secretly you love it. It is king of about that.
