The bender-ender track is available now
Romania-born, Nashville-based musical shapeshifter Vlad Holiday is joined by Kacey Musgraves on “I Don’t Wanna Party Anymore.” Mischievous and sultry, the track has all the jazzy, lo-fi hallmarks of a Bond song. Running Musgraves’ voice through tape delay, Holiday’s signature knack for gear experimentation gives the duet a style we’ve never heard either artist in before.
The two artists met a few years back through mutual friends. Continually finding themselves singing together over an acoustic guitar as the sun came up after a long party, the collaboration felt natural, especially given the lyrics of “I Don’t Wanna Party Anymore.”
Holiday shares that today’s release is, “About the feeling the day after a long bender, sick of going through the serotonin dip over and over again, realizing you should probably change your ways and be better to yourself — BUT getting pulled back in and having the process start all over again.”
Holiday’s first solo release of the year and first release via ONErpm, he’s been incredibly busy over the last few months. Most notably, he co-wrote Cage The Elephant’s “Neon Pill,” “Metaverse” and “Over Your Shoulder.” Through August, he will be out on the road with Cage The Elephant, Young The Giant and Bakar for the Neon Pill Tour. He will follow these dates up with headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville and more, before playing weekend one of Austin City Limits.
