Alt-pop artist Ricky Montgomery returns with heartfelt new single “Eraser.” Touching and deeply relatable, the track showcases the hitmaker’s ability to wrap complex emotions in a sweet, charming package. To mark the release, Ricky also shares a creative visual which beautifully lends imagery to the multi-layered lyrics.
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 open fantasizes about the time after fame and success have eclipsed, and there’s nothing left to break. 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.
