WALK THE MOON
LA-based
artist morgxn and Alt-pop four-piece WALK THE MOON
have come together to reveal their take on morgxn’s standout
single “home.” With dynamic visuals on the way, “home”
seamlessly blends morgxn’s vocals with WALK THE MOON frontman
Nicholas Petricca. The pair sang “home” for the first time live
at morgxn’s Lollapalooza debut performance earlier this summer
and decided to go into the studio to turn it into an official
collaboration.

about the single: “When Nicholas from WALK THE MOON joined
me at Lollapalooza on this song I felt something cosmic in that
moment and the idea was born to make a new version. How often
do you get to step back on the mic and sing with the feeling
of singing in Paris, London, Berlin, Salt Lake City, Sacramento,
Chicago, New York, Nashville... How often do you get to sing
a song already knowing it has changed your life? That’s this
version. That’s this HOME”
morgxn who recently released his debut album vital
sat down with Rolling Stone and GRAMMYs at Lollapalooza
to shed light on his standout song “home” (over 10m streams)
and a Robert Smith-approved cover of The Cure’s “boys don’t
cry.” Additionally, his song “carry the weight” was the soundtrack
to HBO’s chill-inducing “Share The Love” PRIDE campaign and
added to SiriusXM's Alt Nation. Morgxn recently revealed a live,
stripped down version of his single “carry the weight”, shot
at Clubhouse Austin here
and an intimate Baeble Music NEXT session “Armed with just
a piano, he let his voice shine, switching between powerhouse
vocals and delicate vibrato” here.
morgxn is currently on tour with Dreamers and Weathers, stopping
in cities across the country from Atlanta to Columbus (see all
dates below.) Previously, morgxn has toured with Phoebe Ryan,
Skylar Grey, miike snow and X Ambassadors.

On WALK THE MOON: Hailing from Cincinnati, OH, WALK
THE MOON consists of Nicholas Petricca (singer/keyboardist),
Kevin Ray (bassist), Eli Maiman (guitarist), and Sean Waugaman
(drummer). WALK THE MOON’s new single “Kamikaze,” off their
most recent album What If Nothing is currently dominating
the charts, following their lead single “One Foot” which hit
#1 at Alternative Radio. In 2015, the band catapulted to stardom
when their hit single “Shut Up and Dance”, which is included
on their RIAA Certified Gold album TALKING IS HARD, became
a multi-platinum global smash that peaked at No. 1 on the Alternative,
Hot AC, AC charts, No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and
went to No. 2 at Top 40 radio. The track also broke the record
for consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart
at the time. “Shut Up and Dance” racked up over six million
downloads and 850 million streams in the process leading to
a slew of honors including winning two Billboard Music Awards,
a nomination for an MTV Music Video Award for Best Rock Video,
American Music Award nominations for Favorite Pop/Rock Duo Or
Group, New Artist of the Year, and Favorite Alternative Rock
Artist. They were also nominated for an iHeart Radio Music Award
for Best Duo/Group of the Year, Song of the Year, and Alternative
Rock Song of the Year for “Shut Up and Dance”. WALK THE MOON
has been praised by music industry tastemakers across the board
since their explosive first single “Anna Sun” was released in
2012, as Interview Magazine proclaimed, “There's something
about WALK THE MOON that's absolutely out of this world. Their
music is addictive, energetic, and fun.” Rolling Stone also
raved about the band’s live show, “The precocious Ohioans
stack melodies upon melodies in new-wave-infected songs that
attack the ear like a starving Mike Tyson.”
