Sean Cunningham - Whatever That Is

Best known for his career-launching band Atlas and their chart-topping single 'Crawl' - which set a record for the longest-running number one hit in Kiwi history - Sean Cunningham is back and has reinvented himself.

Largely written during a time of personal upheaval — including the loss of his father, the dissolution of his band, and a global pandemic — 'Whatever That Is' is an autobiographical rallying cry stacked high with guitars, orchestral strings, and Cunningham's dedication to the long haul.

"It’s about doing the best we can, whatever that is," he says of the song, which he recorded at his home studio in Nashville.

"I'm welcoming a new stage in my life, where losing my dad made me even more self-aware. This is not a loss record; this is a record about coming to grips with reality, being aware of our mistakes and our growth, and picking back up."
