Lil Nas X Reveals All The Details On New Single “Where Do We Go Now?”

January 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Nas X is a master of trolling. His ability to get people talking is uncanny and that was the case with “J CHRIST.” It is the lead single to the Georgia artist’s forthcoming sophomore record that has no release date or title yet. Months and months before the semi-gospel-inspired cut hit streaming services, it was receiving massive amounts of backlash. The main reason is because of Nas X’s comments online.

Many felt he was disrespectful toward the religion and the people who practice it. However, even though so much controversy was swirling around the release there was little doubt it would have a mediocre debut. But, that turned out to be case. Lil Nas X’s “J CHRIST” landed at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is still doing numbers regardless, though.

Lil Nas X May Be Responding To The Haters

Maybe this time around for him will be different. Uproxx recently reported that Nas X announced a second single “Where Do We Go Now?” and it will drop this Friday, January 26. He captioned the IG post, “good news yall im dropping new music to match with your depression. ” There could be a secret plan behind dropping another one so soon. It could be a sign the album is dropping soon. Or, this has the potential to be somewhat of a response to all the people who were upset with him over “J CHRIST.” Especially with the caption, Nas X could be hinting at that and is trying to get under fans’ skin.

What are your thoughts on Lil Nas X announcing a new single, “Where Do We Go Now?” Will this be better than “J CHRIST,” why or why not? Is that track still in your rotation? Do you think he is dropping a new one so soon because of the negative backlash? Will this be one of the biggest albums of the year when he eventually drops it? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Lil Nas X Announced His ‘Where Do We Go Now?’ Single And Shared Its Release Date

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Nas X is keeping fans fed. Earlier this month, the hitmaker and provocateur made an epic comeback with his buzzy single “J Christ” — the video of which depicts him being crucified and making an ascension into heaven. But it appears his next single will be a bit more personal.

Today (January 23), Lil Nas X announced his upcoming single, “Where Do We Go Now?”

The song is set to arrive this Friday (January 26), as Lil Nas X revealed on his social media accounts.

“im dropping new music to match with your depression,” he said in the post’s caption.

There’s not much context regarding the subject matter thus far, however, the song’s artwork sees a drawing of Lil Nas X standing in a lush, green field, and holding hands with what looks like a younger version of himself. So, it’s likely that the song will showcase Lil Nas X’s more introspective side.

If it’s anything like his Montero cuts “Dead Right Now” and “Sun Goes Down,” fans are certainly in for a ballad that will tug at the heartstrings.

“Where Do We Go Now?” arrives in tandem with Lil Nas X’s documentary, Long Live Montero, which is set to premiere on Saturday, January 27 on Max.

Today, a new two-minute trailer was shared, and it serves as an overarching summary of his journey so far, from early life to “Old Town Road,” from his sexuality to his fans and his haters.

A press release for the movie notes:

“The film […] follows Lil Nas X as he embarks on his first ever global tour. The diaristic film is a remarkably intimate portrait of an artist on tour navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance, all while reflecting on his place within the legacy of Black, queer performers. Directed by Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero captures one of today’s most provocative pop stars at a transformational point in his life, both on and off stage. Shot over the course of 60 days with unparalleled access, the film follows Montero Hill, aka Lil Nas X, on an emotional odyssey through the creation and performance of the critically acclaimed Long Live Montero show.”

“I can act unbothered all I want, but it’s definitely taken a mental toll on me,” Lil Nas X said. “I’m not some evil demon guy trying to destroy everybody’s values and stuff like that. That’s not me.”

Lil Nas X’s ‘J Christ’ Song And Video Are ‘Fantastic,’ According To A Church Of Satan Leader, So, There’s That

January 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last Friday, January 12, Lil Nas X sent seismic waves across the music and pop cultural landscapes by releasing “J Christ,” his first single in two years. Before it even arrived, “J Christ” upset some people because of Lil Nas X’s heavy usage of Christian imagery, going so far as to cosplay Jesus Christ’s crucifixion in the song’s cover art. He billed the song as “dedicated to the man who had the greatest comeback of all time.”

Uproxx’s Aaron Williams defended Lil Nas X against criticisms that he’s “mocking” Christianity, and unsurprisingly, Lil Nas X is receiving loud praise from Church Of Satan Magister David Harris.

TMZ relayed, “While certain Christian rappers and groups have expressed disgust with the song and video, the Church of Satan loves it … magister David Harris tells TMZ he’s giving the video a thumbs up, calling the imagery ‘fantastic.’”

So, there’s that.

Lil Nas X previously received unsolicited support from Harris in 2021 when his devil-themed “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” video, as per Rolling Stone at the time. “J Christ” is presumably the lead single for a forthcoming Lil Nas X album — among Uproxx’s “Most Anticipated Albums Of 2024” — which would be his first since his September 2021 debut LP, Montero.

Watch Lil Nas X’s “J Christ” video above.

Lil Nas X Stretched on Cross on Artwork for New Single 'J Christ'

Lil Nas X is receiving support from the Church of Satan for his new video “J CHRIST.” In the video, Lil Nas X stretches himself on the cross and beats the devil in a game of one-one-one.

In response, magister David Harris of the Church of Satan told TMZ he thought the video was “fantastic.” For clarity, the Church of Satan doesn’t uplift Satan but instead highlights being your true self, living life to the fullest, and personal achievement.

On Friday (Jan 12.), Lil Nas X officially marked the dawn of his next era with the release of his first single in two years, “J CHRIST.”

Co-written by Lil Nas X himself alongside Omer Fedi, Mike Levy (Gesaffelstein), and Blake Slatkin, the song showcases a blend of creativity with production by Fedi, Gesaffelstein, and Lil Nas X.

Accompanying the single is the release of the official video, which not only serves as Lil Nas X’s solo directorial debut but follows a story he crafted. The “J CHRIST” visual is a gleefully subversive journey, featuring Lil Nas X conquering both heaven’s gates and hell’s fires. The video was shot in Mexico City.

As he asserts his faith and sails through a flooded rapture, Lil Nas X proudly declares his chosen direction: “THIS WAY.” The artist is forging a new path, expressing his spirituality uniquely, and signaling a fresh beginning in his musical journey. DAY ZERO of this next chapter has arrived, showcasing Lil Nas X’s evolution and commitment to authenticity in his artistry.

You can hear the single and see the video below.

Lil Nas X Is Going “Vi-iral” With “J CHRIST” Single & Music Video

January 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Nas X, whether you love him or despise him, knows how to stir up chatter. In addition to that, he is someone you can bet the house on to create a worldwide banger. He accomplished both of those things with his latest single, “J CHRIST.” This track comes off the heels of tons of controversy.

From Kai Cenat calling him out during a recent live stream, to Nas X forging a former Liberty University President’s signature, he has everyone up in arms. The reasoning for this “Christian awakening” was because of some comments he made last year. On his social media accounts, he has been hyping up this as a dedication to Jesus Christ. “MY NEW SINGLE IS DEDICATED TO THE MAN WHO HAD THE GREATEST COMEBACK OF ALL TIME!”

Listen To “J CHRIST” By Lil Nas X

There is a slight reference to the man above. “Back-back-back up out the gravesite / B****, I’m back like J Christ.” But, that is as far as Nas X takes it with gospel inspiration. However, there is an underlying theme about Jesus rising from the dead after he died on the cross. He is essentially comparing his return to music in that way. Nas X felt like he was “blackballed” throughout 2023 for speaking on his holy journey. The music video is racking up the views, which is no surprise. In its first 10 hours, the song has been played over 1.3 million times.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “J CHRIST,” by Lil Nas X? Is this the best single he has ever put out, why or why not? When do you think he will come out with his next album? How do you feel about the visuals that accompany the track? What is the best aspect of the song? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.
