British hyper-rocker montykeates is back with another subversive anthem.

On his new banger ‘WORTH LESS’, the 22-year-old rising star continues to blend DnB, electro and rock as he expresses his desire to “keep someone around”.

It’s a far cry from the lyrics of his previous single ‘EASY’, in which he wanted the memory of a former lover to be wiped from his brain. It’s giving versatility!

“In the age of situationships it’s difficult to know where we stand and when we should leave,” he said in a statement.

“I wrote this song from a time where there was no love in my life. It wasn’t worthless but it was definitely worth less. I thought that it was as much as I deserved.”

‘WORTH LESS’ is montykeates’ fifth single to date following ‘EASY’, ‘Unavailable’, ‘Lose My Head’ and ‘PANIC!’, all of which earned rave reviews and cemented his status as one the UK’s most thrilling new acts.

While still somewhat new in the industry, montykeates has amassed a whopping 1.1 million followers on TikTok as a result of his humorous LGBTQIA+ commentary and refreshing conversations about his neurodivergence.

Of course, his music has also garnered him a passionate following, as well as praise from META, Apple Music, Spotify and BBC Radio.

In June, he was signed to GAY TIMES’ wax Talent, alongside stars such as Courtney Act, Daniel W Fletcher, Remi & Erris, AJ Clementine, Theo Walker, Jazzelle, Lucky Love and Enam Asiama.
