#NEWMUSIC: SOMBR – “HOMEWRECKER” NEW SINGLE
Following a standout debut performance at the 68th annual GRAMMY® Awards on Sunday, SOMBR shares a brand new single, titled “Homewrecker” (Warner Records), his first release since his critically acclaimed, chart-topping 2025 debut album I Barely Know Her. Written and co-produced by the GRAMMY® nominated multi-hyphenated artist, “Homewrecker” arrives with an official music video starring Quenlin Blackwell and Milo Manheim. Listen HERE and watch HERE.
Directed by Gus Black (Phoebe Bridgers, Laufey), the “Homewrecker” music video brings the song’s relatably messy feelings to life. In the visual, SOMBR and Blackwell, cast in a Western film helmed by a short-tempered director played by Manheim, we see tensions rise and the lines between pretend and real life blurred — leading to a high-noon-style western showdown.
Once again, SOMBR is the sole writer and co-producer of his latest song, underscoring the weight of this talent. In addition to his Best New Artist GRAMMY® nomination, he’s currently up for two prestigious BRIT Awards: International Artist of the Year, and International Song of the Year for “undressed.” Meanwhile, “back to friends” has claimed the #1 spot at Top 40 Radio.
In November, SOMBR made his Saturday Night Live debut, where he played “12 to 12” and “back to friends.” That appearance landed between sold-out tours across North America — with most venues being upgraded — and Australia/New Zealand. Next week, he embarks on a sold-out UK/EU run before returning stateside for Coachella. See below for all upcoming dates.
I Barely Know Her was written entirely by SOMBR and co-produced by him alongside the legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements). A New York City native raised on the Lower East Side, he started making songs in his bedroom while studying classical music at LaGuardia High School. His 2022 song “Caroline” took the internet by storm, and he’s since released a series of EPs and singles, climbing to over 400 million monthly streams across platforms. Now based in Los Angeles, SOMBR continues to explore young romance and heartbreak through his music, which remains self-written and co-produced.

“A cultural phenomenon.”
The New York Times
“Sombr was practically born to be the Gen Z rock breakout in 2025.”

Rolling Stone
“Sombr’s debut album is gloriously exciting”
NME
ABOUT SOMBR
He’s been called Gen Z’s rockstar heir apparent, but sombr is still, in many ways, Shane Boose, the kid who found his voice via a makeshift bedroom studio on the Lower East Side and who is, to this day, the sole writer (and co-producer) of his world-beating songs. The 20-year-old NYC native taught himself production and recorded by night while studying classical music and vocal performance at the prestigious, public LaGuardia High School. Now, with a sticky mix of arena pop, indie yearn, and glam charisma, he documents young love with a smoldering vulnerability and depth celebrated around the globe. In 2025, his smash single “back to friends” hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, cracked the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 (#7), dominated Alternative Radio (#1 for 5 weeks), and is now the #1 Pop song in America. His rapid rise is also reflected in his headline tours (North America, U.K., Europe, Australia / New Zealand), which sell out instantly and have pulled in surprise guests like Sam Smith and Laufey. sombr entered 2026 with a Best New Artist GRAMMY nod following a year in which he stormed the MTV VMAs (performing and winning “Best Alternative”), played both Fallon and Kimmel, and climbed the rafters on SNL. He also released his debut album, I Barely Know Her, co-produced by the legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements). Near-universal press raves followed, while three of the singles charted simultaneously on the Hot 100.
#SPOTTED: SOMBR IN TORONTO FOR “LATE NIGHTS & YOUNG ROMANCE” TOUR
sombr is one of 2025’s biggest stories in Music. The 20-year-old Singer-Songwriter from New York City has been fiddling around on GarageBand since elementary school and now is a major force to be reckoned with, providing the Soundtrack to the Summer with smash hits like “back to friends” and “undressed“. To date, his debut album “i barely know her” already has amassed 1.7 billion streams on Spotify alone – many of those coming from me!
My love connection with sombr‘s music came instantly a few months back, hearing “back to friends” on SiriusXM and I’ve been obsessed ever since. waiting eagerly for the physical release of his acclaimed, cohesive album, coming November 7, 2025 via Warner Music.
sombr played a sold-our show at The Phoenix tonight, giving the tenured venue a much-needed profile boost. In-town supporting him were his parents Andy and Bennah, whom he was spotted out and about with earlier in the day. The statuesque sombr took a moment for photos and autographs with fans – he is that carefree, cool, fun spirit we imagined through our many repeated plays of his music.
We’re so thrilled to have met this musical genius and cannot wait to see what’s next. Adore sombr!
