He entered the new year with a simple teaser to some incoming music, which had fans at the edge of their seat ready for something new. Despite him taking the time to curate songs from the heart, he personally decided to release the re-recorded single from his first album "Stand Alone". He took to social media to announce it just a few hours ahead of its official drop, giving fans a glimpse into the reasoning behind his decision and the current epidemic he’s in.
He exposed his old team and their attempts to drop this exact tracklist without his permission and led Wallen to do so on his terms. He apologized for the lack of creativity that went behind these songs as they don’t fit who he is as a musician, however, he felt inclined to do so as he fights for his music rights. The singer promises new music on the wa this year as he’s set to record something new next month that is truly creative and is authentically him.
