Filmore opens 2026 with a stormy new single that cuts straight to the emotional core. The rising country-rock maverick has released “Love At First Fight,” the latest preview of his upcoming album ‘Atypical’, arriving February 20 through Pitbull’s Mr. 305 Records.
The track steps away from the party-ready spark of his collaboration with Pitbull on “Yeehaw.” Instead, “Love At First Fight” dives headfirst into a relationship fueled by friction. Stark guitar tones and moody beats set the tone before the song surges into a chorus that captures the messy pull of love and conflict.
Filmore wrote the song alongside Lindsay Rimes and Josh Hoge, drawing inspiration from real experiences. “When we wrote this song, it came really easily, thinking of past experiences,” he explains. “I think everyone at one point in their life goes through a ‘love at first fight’ type relationship.”
Co-produced by John-Luke Carter and Filmore, the track leans into the Missouri native’s raspy lower register. The arrangement begins as a slow-burning reflection before exploding into a blistering guitar solo that mirrors the escalating tension inside the story.
‘Atypical’ marks Filmore’s first full-length album since his 2023 release ‘Mean Something’. The ambitious 21-song project blends outlaw country, rock, and hip-hop elements, reflecting the wide creative range that has made Filmore one of the genre’s most intriguing rising voices.
