RMR Puts A Humorous Spin On A ’90s Rock Classic In His ‘The Wishing Hour’ Video
Artistically vandalizing a Gen X favorite, RMR gets back up to the old tricks that made him famous in the first place. …
The mysterious masked crooner RMR first broke out with a trap-tastic cover of Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road” which went viral as fans struggled to parse its subject matter with the divergent presentation. With his latest video, he gives them more fodder to ponder as he breaks down a ’90s Matchbox Twenty classic, dropping the whole shebang into what looks like a coffee shop open mic night, complete with a backup band and a cup of tea.
“The Wishing Hour” is RMR’s tongue-in-cheek take on Matchbox Twenty’s “3 AM,” which twists the pining anthem into more of a late-night booty call theme song. While M20’s Rob Thomas initially wrote the song to try and make sense of his mom’s cancer diagnosis, RMR is more interested in hashing out a less complex set of emotions. “It’s three a.m. and I’m f*ckin’ horny,” he warbles in his zany take. It probably won’t make Thomas too happy but RMR’s fans will likely delight in his artistic vandalism. The track is the first part of a new project called 4th Quarter Medley, re-imagining a bunch of songs across a series of interconnected videos.
Of course, RMR already proved this year that he’s no one-trick pony, putting out the mischievous Drug Dealing Is A Lost Art EP featuring a broad range of styles on tracks like “Dealer” featuring Future and Lil Baby, “I’m Not Over You,” and “Welfare” with Westside Gunn.

Gareth Dunlop evokes a soulful hit in the new single “Small Talk”
Gareth Dunlop’s new video “Small Talk” captures the art of conversational fumbles with both wit and warmth. Dunlop has never shied away from the uncomfortable; he digs into the unfiltered reality of those painfully relatable moments when you blurt out something awkward, only to cringe and regret it immediately internally. It’s a self-deprecating anthem for anyone who’s walked away from a conversation thinking, Did I really say that? With a blend of self-awareness and humor, “Small Talk” reveals the artist’s vulnerability, showing that even seasoned performers can be socially clumsy.
The video amplifies Dunlop’s charm, adding a layer of visual comedy to his storytelling. You’ll find yourself smiling at the little quirks and nodding in solidarity as he navigates awkward exchanges with an endearing sincerity. His delivery is reminiscent of influences like Van Morrison and Foy Vance, heartfelt yet tinged with a knowing grin. The understated, acoustic-driven arrangement allows his smooth, soulful vocals to take center stage, letting each lyric resonate.
“Small Talk” is a universal truth wrapped in melody. Dunlop’s honest confession about failing at “gentle conversation” becomes a charming anthem for those who’ve shared the same experience and ever overthought a casual chat. “Small Talk” reminds us that it’s okay not to have all the right words sometimes. With its relatable theme and infectious melody, “Small Talk” is a testament to Dunlop’s ability to find beauty in life’s imperfections. Here’s to the brave souls who face each awkward moment with grace or a good sense of humor.
