New track “Hey God” song & video available now

John Mellencamp’s forthcoming new album Orpheus Descending is set for release June 2nd via Republic Records. In anticipation of upcoming record, Mellencamp is sharing the album track “Hey God.”

The project is Mellencamp’s 25th album produced by the star and recorded as his own Belmont Mall Studio. One of his most personal records to date, standout tracks “Hey God” and “The Eyes of Portland” focus on social issues Mellencamp continues to passionately advocate for.

Mellencamp is currently in the midst of his massive Live and In Person 2023 North American tour, with dates running through June 27th including stops in New York City, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston and more.

The album follows last year’s Strictly A One-Eyed Jack. Mellencamp also recently released a deluxe edition reissue of his beloved seminal album, Scarecrow, which features a massive collection of bonus tracks, rarities and more never previously shared before.

Mellencamp has continued to focus on another facet of his artistic expression: painting. Last year, he released a self-curated book of his work, John Mellencamp: Paintings and Assemblages, which is out now on Rizzoli New York.
