After amassing over 350 million global streams and carving out a lane as one of Australia’s most distinctive and fearless voices in hip-hop, YNG Martyr will release his new album, CHALANT, this Spring.
After releasing “MILKSHAKES,” a re-imagined and unapologetically raw take on Kelis’ early-2000s anthem “Milkshake,” which also included the release of the equally wild “MILKSHAKES” video.YNG Martyr is back with a new single and video for “Since You Been Gone,” which flips Kelly Clarkson’s anthem of female empowerment on its head. Feeling liberated from the bounds of toxic relationships in his life, YNG chants “I’m winning again,” over buoyant trap drums as he leaves the past in his rear-view window.
“Since You Been Gone” started in LA last year, with my producer, Reyko, we were messing around in the studio and took Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” and flipped it into something completely different; it’s heavy, metallic, bass-loaded, full crowd-energy rage! It’s made for jumping, moshing, raging, gym sessions—all of it,” YNG Martyr declares. “ The song’s pretty simple at its core. It’s about cutting a toxic person out of your life and finally killing it again. It’s about feeling like yourself again and realizing you’re way better off after cutting something out that was holding you back. I honestly didn’t think this was going to come out. I posted a snippet in my Discord like “this will probably never drop,” and everyone lost their mind and told me I had to release it. They were right”!
You can watch the video for “Since You Been Gone” below, and the single is now available on all streaming platforms.
YNG also recently announced he will be performing at Rolling Loud Australia, which takes place from 3.7/3.8.26 and a special appearance at the infamous Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre on 4.16.26.
Raised in Townsville, Queensland, where the music scene was virtually nonexistent, YNG Martyr built his career by looking outward. “I learnt very early on that I wouldn’t be able to make a dent locally, so I built most of my fanbase overseas in the US and Europe,” he says. His genre-blurring sound — a fusion of jerk, rage, and new wave experimental rap with boom-bap lyricism — draws from artists like Mac Miller and Earl Sweatshirt, who he cites as major lyrical influences.
YNG’s impressive resume includes international tours with Iann Dior and DC the Don, and performances at Spilt Milk, Falls Festival, and SXSW, along with shows across the UK, EU, and US. Beyond his own catalog, he’s expanded into writing and collaboration, most notably penning “Still Humble” for WWE superstar Logan Paul, now one of wrestling’s most recognizable entrance themes.
“I love WWE. I watched it as a kid — I grew up on D-Generation X and Triple H,” YNG adds. “That collab was full-circle for me.”
YNG Martyr’s new single, “Since You Been Gone,”is now available on all streaming platforms.
