Kid Bookie has officially returned with a massive new collaboration. The explosive new single, titled “Blame“, features a guest appearance from Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor. An official visualizer for the heavy-hitting track has also been released online.
The arrival of the new track follows the significant cultural impact of his previous release, “Rose McGowan“, which featured actress and activist Rose McGowan. That collaboration marked her first musical endeavor in years and generated considerable buzz across the film and music industries for its raw, uncompromising energy and symbolic weight.
With “Blame“, the artist continues to blur the lines between art, music, and activism, pushing further into deep sonic and emotional territory. Reconnecting with his longtime collaborator Corey Taylor, the duo delivers a searing exploration of self-reflection, personal growth, and accountability. Their creative partnership spans nearly a decade, but this latest effort represents a profound evolution for both musicians as they confront personal truths and strip away their egos.
Discussing the intensely personal and cathartic nature of the new song, Kid Bookie shared:
“Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one. Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions. I’m around some of the best people who practice that in more ways than one. Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade, but I feel this record is a coming of age, even for us. New territory, but familiar approach to make sure we embolden each other through music. This song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record, truly an honor to keep pushing the envelope with someone who has just pushed it as far as it can go, but has completely revamped what the envelope fu**ing is.”
Corey Taylor also expressed his deep admiration for his collaborator and the new track:
“Books is one of my favorite people, not just artists, and every time he comes to me with an opportunity to create with him, I’m always excited because I know I’m going to hear something I’ve never heard before. ‘Blame‘ was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I’d do! I’m proud of the song, and I’m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.”
The emotionally raw single signals a newly confident era for Kid Bookie, perfectly setting the stage for his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album, which is scheduled for release later this year.
