Miguel Releases ‘New Martyrs (Ride 4 U)’ as ‘CAOS’ Rollout Gains Pace

The release precedes CAOS set for October 23 on ByStorm/RCA.

Overview

  • Miguel shares the self-written and produced single “New Martyrs (Ride 4 U),” framing devotion alongside calls for love, solidarity, and resistance to inequality.
  • The drop follows the title track’s gated debut on Miguel’s S1C.LA platform, which requires a login and code and is presented as an artist-run effort to empower artists of color.
  • CAOS is scheduled to arrive on October 23, 2025 through ByStorm/RCA.
  • Early write-ups describe the new song’s Bonnie-and-Clyde tension over lo-fi drums, wide synths, and a cutting guitar riff.
  • Rated R&B reports the cover art recreates surveillance imagery tied to the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, with suspect Luigi Mangione awaiting trial.
