Mike Shinoda - "Happy Endings" (Feb 19, 2021)

[Coizu]

After hinting at some big news already yesterday on his Twitch and ending the stream with "we will have plenty to talk about tomorrow", Mike just posted a short snippet of music around lunchtime PST on February 16th. He tweeted, "Something big is coming this week. #HappyEndings"

 

On Twitch today, Mike said that he would talk more about the post tomorrow, on February 17th.

While we don't know what Mike is up to currently, he did make a comment on Twitch in fall 2020 (paraphrasing) like, "When I stream on Twitch, it's only for a few hours in the middle of the day. You guys know I do stuff after that, right?" As well as another hint where he said something to the effect of, "You guys don't know what all I do off of Twitch!" As creative as Mike is, it wouldn't be surprising to hear that he is working on new music.

 

Mike's latest releases have included the Dropped Frames albums, several instrumental tracks through his Twitch streaming, his remix of 'Passenger' (Deftones), and a series of production sessions with independent artists. Finally, he also has a 'Sleepy Track' session that he is looking to release sometime this year. 

 

Since it is something big I assume it will be at least a new song, probably a new album? What do you guys think?

 

EDIT: Mike will be releasing a song entitled 'Happy Endings' featuring iann dorr and UPSAHL. Ten videos of the song will be sold on Zora, and Mike will release the full song publicly on February 19, 2021.

It’s definitely not gonna be new instrumentals, because it would not make sense to label it as “big news” since we got 3 DF records and all the streams, so... I guess new song

Snippet can be found on shazam.

Song will be called happy endings and feature iann dior & UPSAHL.

It's almost unbelievable the song was revealed via Shazam on ACCIDENT, surely it was intentional, or no?

LP is very familiar with Shazam and released Guilty All the Same via Shazam in 2014. 

[Coizu]

It is indeed very interesting. I remember song names and releases getting leaked through Shazam years ago but that didn't work in ages so I actually already gave up on my research for the evening after trying out my usual things.

I don't think it was "intended" to be found there though. Genius also recognises the song (it will place the artists and the title in the search bar, but it won't find any search result) so it is not exclusive to Shazam. I assume the song is already in all kinds of databases but just not released on actual stores/services.

Huge news, i have no clue who those featured artists are but coming from Mike it will be a banger for sure

that girl is hot

Hmmm. I really hoped that we would get some LP related news. Well, hopefully song will be good. 

[Coizu]

He confirmed on stream that it won't be LP related (which was obvious) and that it won't be an album. So it's either just the one song or maybe an EP.

[Bambitt]

I guess that an EP would be fine. Let’s wait and see what’s gonna happen

Not LP related was pretty obvious seen that there was his signature on the “teaser” mini video. Not being a new album is interesting 

[Hybrid1988]

COVID hours got musicians doing twitch and releasing singles, not albums. not surprised in the least. 

[LPLStaff]

He leaked on Twitch that Manny Marroquin mixed the song.

There is a new page on his website https://www.mikeshinoda.com/NFTTerms

Seems like some NFT related stuff is coming.

Yes. 6 songs from OML. He also mixed most of Post Traumatic.

I know iann diors name and I like the snippet!

Why Mike is keeping this Marroquin to mix? His mixing on LIVING THINGS was horrible!
