On tour this December opening for Zac Brown Band New Year's Eve December 31 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta

American Idol Season 22 Runner-Up, Will Moseley is set to release “Everything But Me” December 6 on 19 Recordings / 19 Entertainment, pre-save the song HERE.

Moseley was inspired to write “Everything But Me” after watching friends go through relationship troubles. It’s a classic country song with a Jimmy Buffett-esque style about going through a rough breakup but taking on a slightly sarcastic viewpoint of the situation. Moseley sings, “I bought a house with a big backyard / Fancy clothes and a brand new car / When she left she took everything she pleased / Let me tell you she wanted everything but me.”

Moseley captivated the American Idol judges with his raspy drawl and a soulful delivery during his Season 22 audition. Lionel Ritchie called him a “star” and went on to say, “his voice was amazing.” He received all yeses from the judges, Ritchie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan, earning him a Golden Ticket. He became the runner-up to Abi Carter who won the competition.

Since American Idol, Moseley has gained a dedicated fan base for his heartfelt performances and genre-blending style that brings fresh life to familiar songs. He recently released a heartfelt holiday cover of Mariah…

SAINt JHN unveils cinematic "Circles" music video
By / Staff Writer

SAINt JHN, the genre-blending artist known for pushing the boundaries of music, fashion, and visual art, has released the official music video to his recent single “Circles.” His videos are never merely visual accompaniments; they are artistic statements in their own right, bringing his music to life with intricate narratives and bold, avant-garde visuals.

“My Favorite Toxic Relationship Has A Video Now” – SAINt JHN

Shot in Barcelona, Spain, the “Circles” music video directed by Alex Gargot is a visual and sonic masterpiece that captivates audiences with its cinematic storytelling and striking imagery. SAINt JHN embodies the duality of vulnerability and invincibility as he navigates surreal, circular compositions. The narrative unfolds with him pushing a large stone down a red carpet, surrounded by flashing cameras and microphones, only to face an unseen threat symbolized by a gun barrel aimed at him. Despite the chaos, SAINt JHN remains defiant, lying on the red carpet with a bullet wound, continuing to sing as the press circles him. Revolving mirrors and circular camera angles reinforce the “Circles” theme throughout the video.

The Guyanese-Brooklynite’s fearless approach to fashion always plays a central role in his artistic identity. In “Circles,” he blends luxury streetwear from vintage Pelle Pelle leathers and Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Timberlands to tailored Marine Serre suits and classic Saint Laurent Boots.

“IT’S FVCKING TIME” – SAINt JHN

As SAINt JHN prepares to unveil a series of highly anticipated music and visuals. His ability to blend art, music, and fashion effortlessly cemented his place as a multi-hyphenate creative force. As he…
