Added this! Well Mike, that doesn't help us thinking we're wrong 🤣

Oooh, we're so back! Just a few days after the huge Linkin Park comeback — new lineup, secret live show, new single, new tour dates, new album, whaaat!? — we're already diving back into the speculation zone. Could there be another new song on the horizon? And not just any song, but one tied to the global gaming phenomenon League of Legends? The rumor mill is buzzing, and for good reasons. League of Legends is set to announce their highly anticipated Worlds 2024 Anthem, the theme song for their upcoming esports tournament, on September 24, at 5 PM British time. A curious interaction on social media has caught our attention: the official League of Legends Twitter account replied to a Linkin Park tweet with a crown emoji 👑 Well, the new Linkin Park album From Zero, dropping on November 15, features a track titled "Heavy Is The Crown" 👀 Mike Shinoda himself jumped into the mix, dropping a fire emoji under a tweet by Arcane, the hit TV series set in the League of Legends universe. P.S. Do we all remember that iconic moment from the Arcane premiere back in 2021, when Twitch streamer Ovilee May hilariously didn’t recognize Mike, right? 🤣 Coincidence? Maybe. But here's where things get even more interesting. Linkin Park will play at the O2 Arena in London on the very day of the song reveal! And wouldn’t you know it, it's at the same venue where the League of Legends World Championship final ceremony will take place on November 2. Could we see the band debut this song live at their upcoming show in Los Angeles tomorrow? And could we even see them take the stage at the League of Legends event? When asked about it, Mike commented on Discord, in a very unserious way, "what's a leaf of legumes?" Heavy is the crown, indeed, and we just might be looking at Linkin Park's next epic anthem. Stay tuned, as this could be a monumental moment for both music and gaming fans alike! ------------------------------ EDIT: September 21, 2024 Further teasing has started in relation to Worlds 2024's anthem. LinkinPark.com has added a banner with the words "Make them believe," which also happens to be the slogan for Worlds this year. The official League Of Legends social media accounts also posted a video (with no audio) of a guitar that suspiciously looks like Mike's new addition to his rig and a crown on a throne. Looks like all the pieces are starting to come together! Additionally, martinez has provided partial credits that he has found, which can be seen below.

Possibly, but we always thought it could be a different song considering that, for One More Light, they wrote lyrics before the music and "Out Of Reach" was also on the board with "Battle Symphony"!

Everyone go check the new trailer via Mike's Broadcast Channel on Instagram! ALREADY OVER - OCTOBER 6

Interesting stickers from Mike's new Instagram Story 👀

Things are serious here 👀 Stylist and image consultant Blake Hardy on Instagram:

Everyone, it's happening! Mike Shinoda is starting to tease his new era, and a lot of things are going on, let's recap this! A few days ago, he posted a bunch of random photos, including a pic of his hair and a weird image, that was later shared by Frank Maddocks, who also left a "🤔" emoji under Mike's post. He later launched his Broadcast Channel on Instagram, that you can join by clicking here! First message was: "Let it begin... Welcome and stay tuned. -m" Followed by "soon" and this clip, in which he shaves his head, and a new MS logo is revealed, along with a guitar sound: And guess what? He already teased this same song back in July, on an Instagram Story! Today, we also got this new pic, with the caption "New era"... In addition, on September 5th, Mike will be speaking at BIGSOUND, a music conference in Brisbane, Australia. For the occasion, on September 7th, LPU members will have the chance to attend an intimate fan Q+A in Sydney (submissions are now closed!). Sounds like we could discover more at this event 👀 A new Mike Shinoda era is upon us. Stay tuned for updates!

Mike Shinoda is featured on a new episode of Genius' Verified series, talking about the concept and production of "In My Head". "Mike Shinoda stopped by GENIUS to discuss his introspective new song "In My Head." The Linkin Park star produced this self-reflective track, which deals with the voices that echo in our minds. This thoughtful and infectious fan favorite cut appears on the official Scream VI soundtrack and it features the vocalist Kailee Morgue. On this episode of VERIFIED, Shinoda explains how iconic rappers like JAY-Z and Snoop Dogg inspired some of the songwriting techniques that make up the track."

"In My Head", a new solo song by Mike Shinoda featuring Kailee Morgue from the Scream VI soundtrack is out now! LPU members got the chance to watch an exclusive screening of the movie in Los Angeles, on March 9th, with both Mike and Kailee attending. Below, here's a list of the new interviews by Mike, talking about the new single, 20 years of Meteora, "Lost", horror movies, and more! • 94.5 The Buzz • ALT 105.1 • ALT 105.7 • KROQ • 93.3 ALT AZ • Audacy (to be released on March 13rd) Watch the visualizer video, directed by Jacky Lu, made with Kaiber.ai:

Differently from how he talks about "Still Alive", saying that he just wrote and produced it, Mike referred to "In My Head" as "my solo song", so he definitely has vocals on it!

First update in 2023!

The title is registered on ASCAP's Repertory, while the rumor about Demi Lovato having a song in the movie spread at least two days ago on Twitter, where a close friend of hers quoted a tweet (later deleted) about it, so it seems pretty legit!

After some teases and hints that we talked you about on this previous thread, Mike Shinoda officially confirmed he has 2 songs in the movie Scream VI, set to be released in the United States on March 10, 2023. One song is called "In My Head" and features singer Kailee Morgue. The second one is rumored to be a song by Demi Lovato, called "Still Alive", with Mike credited as writer and producer. Here's what he said about it, in a KROQ interview with Nicole Alvarez: "Up until this year, I've been doing a lot of writing and producing for other people. And I recently kind of got the bug to do it for myself again. I do have a new song that's gonna be in the movie Scream. So, what happened is they had reached out about like, 'Will you help us with the music for the movie?' And in the conversation it was like, 'Oh yeah', and I played them something and they were like, 'Oh my God, can we use that? Can it go in the movie?' I didn’t plan it. I would never have been like, 'Oh, we're gonna put out this big Linkin Park thing and then I wanna put my song out right on top of it!' That’s not a good planning for me, it's great planning for Linkin Park fans, because there's just more music. So, I've got stuff I've produced that are other people's songs, got my own song, and we got the Linkin Park stuff. And that's not even everything that we're gonna be doing around this for Linkin Park fans. So, this is a great time to be a Linkin Park fan." He also mentioned working with PVRIS and gave more details about "In My Head" on ALT 98.7 Afternoons With Booker & Stryker: "The thing that I have been the most involved in, I've been producing stuff for other people, writing, producing for other people. And so, I have some songs coming out, we just put out a song by Justus Bennets, which I love, I have something in the way with PVRIS... P-V-R Paris, yeah, not the blonde one, but the brunette one. Her name is Lynn, she's awesome. And then, most importantly, I think this is a world premiere, I think I haven't really talked about this, so this is cool, this is kind of cool. I have two songs in the new Scream movie. Truth be told, if you would have asked me when I wanted to put them out it wouldn't have been right next to Meteora, but that's when the movie comes out. So, that's gonna be a huge month for Linkin Park fans, like that's a brand new song, yeah, it's my track. Kailee Morgue is singing on the track, she's incredible. The reason I chose her is because she's like a massive Scream fan and she's got a good voice too, so I was like, 'She's a perfect fit for this thing.' So yeah, I feel like that's the start of our year, we'll see what happens after that, but there's a lot in store for Linkin Park fans."

The New York Times published an article about Meteora's 20th anniversary and "Lost," featuring Mike and Brad. Here are some highlights! • Mike about Chester "He could take that thing he was singing, and just sledgehammer it through somebody's heart." "I've grown to appreciate what we had even more, because it's hard to get that. I work with people where I go, 'Oh, can you sing it this way?' And they just can't." • Brad called "Lost" a "surprise gift" from Chester: "The performance is so beautiful, delicate and clear." "I've heard a lot of great Chester vocals, and this is among the best." • "Fighting Myself" and "More The Victim" Mike finished mixing "Fighting Myself" last year, with a light touch to preserve its period authenticity: "I really wanted to keep it true to the initial intention, because I didn't want to taint this time warp." "What I love about the three new songs is that all of them represent a different facet of the band, as it was in 2003." He called it "a definitive Linkin Park track." "More The Victim" will be released in a version that's "basically the furthest we got with it, in terms of a demo." Read the full article here.
