RMR Gets Some Things Off His Chest On ‘That Was Therapeutic’ With Amber Rose

The trap-crooner puts a delirious spin on Drake’s ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’ and even takes off his mask for the first time. …

After co-opting Matchbox Twenty’s ’90s classic “3 AM” in his “The Wishing Hour” video, RMR continues his 4th Quarter Medley project’s storyline with “That Was Therapeutic” featuring Amber Rose. Swapping out 25-year-old jams for a more recent hit, RMR puts his mischievous spin on Drake’s summertime smash “Laugh Now Cry Later.”

Picking up where the previous video left off, “That Was Therapeutic” finds RMR visiting a literal therapy session with Amber Rose playing the perceptive professional to whom he vents. RMR even unmasks — off-camera, of course — so Amber can get a hands-on look at his signature accessory before he walks off into the next portion of the medley, previewing another reimagined ’90s bop: The Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris,” which was incidentally also covered fairly recently by another artist, Phoebe Bridgers. We can’t wait to see what kind of profane vandalism he’ll perform to the beloved City of Angels soundtrack standout.

RMR’s been developing his trap-crooner remixes of hit songs since he first drew attention with the viral “Rascal” video, becoming something of a gritty, ski-masked version of Weird Al Yankovic. Despite this, he’s also had plenty of success with original works as well, including “Dealer” and “Welfare” from his debut EP, Drug Dealing Is A Lost Art.

RMR is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
