Macklemore Reunites With Ryan Lewis To Bring A Familiar Magic In New Single, 'Next Year

Grammy award-winning lyricist Macklemore partners back up with longtime friend and collaborator, Ryan Lewis, for the first time in five years for a reflective and optimistic new single and video ‘NEXT YEAR’ that features recording artist Windser – available everywhere now. Macklemore and Lewis teamed up with director Jason Koenig to write and direct the music video. Koenig is a frequent collaborator of theirs, as he also did the ‘Can't Hold Us’ and ‘Downtown’ videos.

“…slick, sardonic, confident…”   — Highsnobiety
 
“...a heartwarming underdog success story.” — Rolling Stone
 
“..a real case study in what is possible these days when it comes to building a career in music without a traditional deal.”— Forbes

On the heels of what will be the 10th anniversary of his accolade and award-laden debut, The Heist and four years since Macklemore’s last studio LP Gemini, which peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200, boasting cuts with appearances from Skylar Grey, Lil Yachty, Offset, Kesha, and more – looking to 2022, Macklemore has returned with an anthemic and true to his ethos track, backed by a rising Windser-led chorus that engrains in us that ‘Next year’s gonna be better than this!’ Coupled with a hilarious and metaphorical visual that finds our Seattle-based emcee surviving not only the city’s beloved grey skies, but car crashes and even the birth of a new baby with his wife, that may or may not be his neighbor’s. There’s even a barrage of stray golf balls landing at his feet that remind us of the strength of the rapper’s ability to not only remain in the driver seat of life, despite all, but his self-awareness and capacity to poke fun, even at himself and his own best laid plans – a funny nod to his own lauded golf apparel brand, Bogey Boys.
