Lil Nas X, the chart-topping icon, initiates a musical resurrection in 2024 with his latest single, “J CHRIST.” The multi-platinum artist’s return, after a two-year hiatus, unveils a track co-written with Omer Fedi, Mike Levy (Gesaffelstein), and Blake Slatkin, featuring production by Fedi, Gesaffelstein, and Lil Nas X himself.
In a bold solo directorial debut, Lil Nas X presents a visually stunning and subversive official video, portraying a celestial battle where he conquers both the gates of heaven and the fires of hell. Choosing the path of faith, he sails through a flooded rapture, declaring “THIS WAY” for those doubting his chosen direction, paying homage to his iconic “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” video.
Shot in Mexico City, the video is a testament to Lil Nas X’s creative vision, produced by SixTwentySix and featuring visual effects by Mathematic. The premiere, complete with celebrity surprises, adds a touch of glamour to the unveiling of Lil Nas X’s new chapter.
As the artist forges ahead with “J CHRIST,” his spiritual expression takes center stage. Lil Nas X’s influence, spanning history-making chart-toppers like “Old Town Road,” continues to resonate, solidifying him as an iconoclast whose impact reaches every corner of culture. With a diamond-certified breakout and a platinum-certified debut album, Lil Nas X’s journey of accolades propels him into DAY ZERO of this compelling new chapter.
