Putting one thing Rod Wave is capable of doing extremely well – and that’s putting his raw emotions into a record with ease – is putting his raw emotions into a recording. As of today (March 31), the Florida-raised singer has made sure to do just that with the release of his new single, “Fight The Feeling.” The new single follows up what has been a solid year so far with “Break My Heart” and “Got It Right.” With this song, Rod Wave sings about what it means to live life while you’re hurting on the inside:
The highly anticipated album Beautiful Mind was released by Rod Wave back in August 2022. The album featured 24 tracks with features from songwriters such as December Joy and Jack Harlow. The singer, who sang the hit single “Heart On Ice,” spent the fourth quarter of that year on the road as part of his “Beautiful Mind Tour.” The tour started on Nov. 11 and ended on Dec. 21 in Seattle, where it concluded for the singer. On this tour, he will also have Mariah The Scientist and Toosii as his opening acts.
Previously, Wave released SoulFly in 2021, an album consisting of 19 songs with a single guest appearance by Polo G. SoulFly became Wave’s first number one album on the Billboard 200 with 130,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week following its release.

In addition to this, we can also see the rapper who recorded the track “Lick Back” with a few of his associates in the recording studio.
