2hollis Returns With New Single “Hurt” After star

2hollis is back with “Hurt,” his first new single since the release of his critically acclaimed major-label debut album, star. Released via Interscope Records, the track opens a new chapter for the genre-defying artist, producer, and songwriter while continuing the shape-shifting world he has built around sound, visuals, and performance.

A Self-Directed Visual Statement

“Hurt” arrives with an official self-directed music video that expands the visual language surrounding 2hollis’ music. The press release notes that he not only directed the visual, but also edited it, further positioning him as a multi-hyphenate artist who treats sound and image as part of the same creative world.

The release pushes his constantly evolving sound into new territory, balancing vulnerable songwriting with a high-voltage production style shaped by underground rap, psychedelia, gothic industrial techno, and club catharsis.

Building on the Breakthrough of star

The new single follows a major breakthrough run for 2hollis. His 2025 album star earned critical acclaim, tens of millions of streams, and a No. 11 placement on Billboard’s Top Dance Albums chart. The project also landed on year-end lists from Stereogum and Consequence, while Pitchfork praised the album and named “Flash” one of the 100 best songs of 2025.

“Hurt” kicks off the next chapter for one of pop music’s newest and most exciting vanguards.

Following star, 2hollis sold out a North American headline tour, completed two sold-out European runs, and made major festival debuts including Coachella and Lollapalooza. Those milestones have helped push his world from online mythology into a larger live-performance movement.

A Sound Built Across Worlds

2hollis has become a defining figure in the underground-to-mainstream pipeline, turning online mythology, club energy, and vulnerable pop instincts into a fully realized creative universe. His early projects, including White Tiger and 2, established him as an underground experimenter, while boy and star showed how those instincts could become immediate, resonant pop music.

He is also becoming an increasingly visible collaborator, with the press release noting upcoming work connected to Playboi Carti and Ken Carson. Carson recently tapped 2hollis to rework star’s “girl” for xperiment on the track “shadeson.”

The Next 2hollis Chapter Starts Here

With “Hurt,” 2hollis moves forward as an artist whose music, visuals, live shows, and online community all feed into the same fast-expanding mythology. The single sets up a new era built on risk, motion, and a creative language that keeps shifting before it can be boxed in.
