Rex Orange County releases "ONE IN A MILLION"
Rex Orange County shares the visuals for his WHO CARES? track "ONE IN A MILLION," which he performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this year. The new video for "ONE IN A MILLION" is directed by Bráulio Amado and features a heart character tormenting Rex as he does everyday tasks.
The album WHO CARES? also features the stand-out songs "OPEN A WINDOW" featuring Tyler, The Creator, marking the first time the two have collaborated since Tyler's 2017 album Flower Boy, "AMAZING" and "KEEP IT UP," which Billboard described as "a tasty bit of happy-go-lucky pop-rock."
WHO CARES? is Rex's first release since 2020's Live at Radio City Music Hall EP taken from his two sold-out shows at the venue in 2020 just before his international Pony tour was cut short in Berlin due to Covid-19. As it turns out, however, that tour being cut short is part of the genesis of this album. After spending the bulk of 2020 quarantined back home in the UK, Rex made the trek to Amsterdam that fall to record with Benny Sings, with whom he crafted the 2017 platinum selling breakout single "Loving Is Easy."
What started as sessions without expectations turned into an incredibly productive 48-hour window of recording with Benny, prompting a follow-up trip to Amsterdam. The subsequent 10 days of work together produced his fourth album, made in close partnership with Benny, that is a playful record by an artist in a playful mood.
