Letdown. Announces New Album Be Ok
Texas-born, Nashville-based Blake Coddington (aka Letdown.) announces his raw and introspective new album, Be Ok, will be released on November 15th via Big Loud Rock. The announcement arrived with the album’s title track, “Be Ok,” featuring LØLØ. Watch the video HERE.
Written by Letdown. during the end of a serious relationship, “Be Ok” captures the duality of longing for something that was ultimately unhealthy. “I was so focused on my love for someone else that I didn’t realize how much it was actually shooting me in the foot,” Coddington reflects. “I didn’t understand that everything could be better if this was over. At the same time, it immediately says, ‘I never thought I’d miss you this way.’ It’s something I think about all the time. I left everything negative in my life that has affected me, but I still think about it in a way that is almost like I miss it. It’s a weird headspace to live in—to hate something and know it’s gone, but still want it somehow. I think it’s something that everyone feels, and a lot of people don’t talk about that much.”
The new collection will feature Letdown.’s signature sound, blending elements of punk, emo, electronic, and pop into cathartic rock anthems. It includes previous singles, “Hate Myself” and “Crying In The Shower” — both breaking into the Top 25 on the Alternative chart. These songs, along with the rest of the album, reflect Coddington’s therapeutic songwriting process, which serves as both an emotional outlet and a way to connect with listeners facing similar struggles.
“I think I’m at the end of writing about my problems,” Coddington muses about the album’s themes. “I’ve been putting myself through emotional music therapy for three years now, and it’s working. I’m finally looking back and laughing for the first time. I consider it the upswing of the depression. I’m about to enter this whole new phase in my life. Everything feels new again for the first time.”
Letdown. is set to hit the road for a “Be Ok” headline tour in support of the album beginning November 6th in Louisville. Find the tour dates HERE.
