Alt-pop artist, Ricky Montgomery has released his heartfelt new single, “Eraser” today via Warner Records. The touching and deeply relatable track showcases the hitmaker’s ability to wrap complex emotions in a sweet, charming package. It arrives alongside the creative visual, which beautifully lends imagery to the multi-layered lyrics. Watch it now below.
Quirky and captivating, the visual finds the breakout singer-songwriter trying to blend into a variety of walls and surfaces with varying degrees of success. It’s a cathartic exploration of Ricky’s relationship with fame and the realization that fitting in — or literally blending into the background — is overrated.
“The song openly fantasizes about the time after fame and success have eclipsed, and there’s nothing left to break,” Ricky explains. “Success has always been hard for me to accept because of the pressure it brings. The ‘eraser’ in the song is myself, sabotaging things throughout the course of my life. It’s an internal plea to let it all go and embrace myself and my life in whatever way it unfolds.”
And unfold it has, in a big way. With two Platinum singles, well over a billion combined streams and more than 5 billion TikTok views, Ricky Montgomery is a force to be reckoned with. “Eraser,” his first release of the year, follows a seismic 2022, which saw the debut of his acclaimed It’s 2016 Somewhere EP. Highlights include “Talk To You,” “Sorry For Me,” “Settle Down,” and an acoustic rendition of his platinum hit “Mr. Loverman.”
Now with “Eraser” and more music coming soon, Ricky kicks off a new chapter of his career and is ready to present a whole new Ricky Montgomery to the world.
