## New Release from Royel Otis

Royel Otis has just unveiled their latest song, “say something,” offering fans another glimpse into their upcoming album.

This track, released under OURNESS / Capitol Records, debuted on *The Zane Lowe Show*. The indie-pop duo collaborated with Billy Walsh, known for work with artists like Post Malone and The Weeknd, along with producer Omer Fedi, who has worked with notable names such as Lil Nas X and The Kid LAROI.

## The Essence of “Say Something”

“This is a song about unspoken words,” the duo states regarding the meaning behind the track. You can listen to “say something” below.

## Upcoming Album Details

“Say something” will feature on Royel Otis’ much-anticipated second album, *hickey*, set to drop on August 22nd. This follows the success of their debut album, *PRATTS & PAIN*, released in 2024. Commenting on the album’s provocative title, they explain, “…because love bites harder than any other emotion in the world.”

## Previous Singles and Tour Insights

The announcement of the album comes on the heels of their first single, “moody,” first teased during a sold-out show in Los Angeles earlier this year. According to the band members, Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, the essence of “moody” is simple: “It’s a song about a girl.”

Additionally, “say something” follows their previous release, “car,” co-created with collaborators Blake Slatkin and Omer Fedi.

To mark the release of their upcoming album, Royel Otis plans to embark on an Australian tour later this year. They have even added extra dates in Brisbane and Sydney to accommodate high demand.

## A Brief Look Back

Royel Otis had a remarkable year last year, achieving a top 10 album position, making their Billboard Hot 100 debut, and winning ARIA awards, including Best Group. Their international tours included a sold-out homecoming event at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and a DJ set at Beyond the Valley.

As a reminder, “say something” is now available for listening, and fans are excitedly awaiting the release of *hickey* on August 22nd.
