Houston native singer/songwriter/producer reggie has released new single and music video “Headstone,” aka “NEW HEADSTONE need MIX”,” a soul-baring, creeping ear-worm of a requiem that haunts long after the music stops. The new track comes alongside news of reggie’s recent signing to RCA Records – joining a stable of era-defining young artists that includes Steve Lacy, SZA, and Blood Orange.
“Why me?” asks reggie on the beguiling “Headstone,” lamenting his misfortune and the cards that life has stacked against him. In the accompanying music video, directed by reggie, the angst is palpable; the video matches the song’s plaintive tone with an emotional single shot.

The first tracks from an upcoming full-length project, “Headstone” follows last month’s release of “congrats!.” With genre-defying ease, “congrats!” is immediately arresting. Its instrumental backdrop, and reggie’s visceral, expressive vocals, are filled with soulful intensity, creating a haunting emotional experience that grows deeper with every listen. Lyrically, it’s a kiss off. “congrats!” also comes to life visually in a cinematic, one-shot video conceived and co-directed by reggie alongside creative partner Juan Nieto. The result is a slow, unraveling mystery that elegantly reveals itself to leave more questions than answers.
