The exciting new comes ahead of his forthcoming single titled “Potential,” which has been teased on Sombr’s socials this week and drops this Thursday with an official music video at 6 p.m. ET. The song follows “Homewrecker,” Sombr’s fifth entry on the Billboard Global 200, fourth on the Hot 100, and his highest first-week debut to date.

On Saturday night, Sombr and his band played to tens of thousands of ecstatic fans in the desert. Los Angeles Times noted his performance “drew so many fans that they were stretching to the outer edges of the field.” Rolling Stone applauded his set for delivering “undeniable rock star energy.” A surprise appearance from Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins for a performance of their hit classic “1979” drew widespread praise, with Rolling Stone noting, “if he needed a rock legend’s cosign, this was a perfect one to get”; and Los Angeles Times observing their performance as “one of the moments that simultaneously proved that rock never died and it’s on the rise.” Sombr will be returning to the desert next Saturday for another wild night of packed-to-the-rafter sing-alongs and dancing in the dark, with more surprises in store.

Sombr has dominated global airwaves and charts since his 2025 breakthrough smash “Back to Friends,” which earned his first Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit (charting for 52 weeks), reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, ruled alternative radio at No. 1 for five weeks, and reached No. 1 on U.S. pop radio more than a year after its release.

That summer, he released his debut studio album, “I Barely Know Her,” featuring the record-shattering hit alongside standout fan and critical favorites “Undressed” and “12 to 12,” each of which reached the Top 20 on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Hot 100.

Born in New York City, Shane Boose – who first found his voice in a makeshift Lower East Side bedroom studio – is the sole songwriter and co-producer of his entire catalog. Blending indie rock with arena-sized pop, Sombr captures the intensity of young love with a smoldering vulnerability and emotional depth that resonates worldwide. His rapid ascent is reflected in sold-out global headline tours.
