GRAMMY® award-winning, multi-platinum-selling artist Macklemore is back with a brand-new single, “MANIAC,” Ft Windser – out everywhere now! A refreshing and welcomed dose of up-tempo indie-infused pop, produced by Ryan Lewis and Budo, “Maniac” comes with an official music video, featuring a brief cameo by Nardwuar, and is directed by Jake Magraw.
The video is inspired by and is an ode to the classic 1960’s American entertainment shows such as The Ed Sullivan Show, with a nod to Outkast’s classic 2003 music video for “Hey Ya!”.
Speaking about the new song, Macklemore reveals, “The first time I heard Windser singing the hook on Maniac I fell in love with it. It’s infectious and relatable and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Maniac is about the euphoria of a relationship that isn’t perfect, but an addictive journey of the ups and downs that make you both who you are.”
Last month, Macklemore made his return with “CHANT” featuring Australian break-out artist and producer Tones And I. A triumphant anthem for the ages, “CHANT” was lauded as “uplifting,” “epic” and“powerful” by SPIN Magazine, American Songwriter and Rap Radar, with E! calling it “a gospel-infused track that will please both new and old fans.” “CHANT” made its morning television debut as part of Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series in Central Park. The Seattle born-and-based artist performed to hundreds of screaming fans [watch HERE], and teased a larger body of work and new musical era is on the horizon. Watch the full interview HERE.

In other news, 2022 marks the 10-year anniversary since the release of his multiple GRAMMY® Award winning, chart topping, critically acclaimed album “The Heist”, which spawned three #1 singles in Australia; the 13x ARIA Platinum-certified “Thrift Shop”, 11x ARIA Platinum-certified “Can’t Hold Us” and the 6x ARIA Platinum-certified “Same Love”.
