Spag Heddy returns with his new single "Never Thought," for which he teamed up with rock/alt-pop singer Micah Martin of The Zealots band. The track follows a slightly different direction for Spag, who has previously focused on intensive bass and unique house sounds, in that it is less of a headbanging anthem than a saga through human emotion. Opening with wistful vocals and piano melodies, he then builds into a cinematic dubstep-style drop with some grimy synth effects that serve to truly embody the full and complex spectrum of feelings within the song. "Never Thought" may be Spag Heddy's the most emotional release to date and follows his recent release "Sorry," both of which are from his upcoming debut studio album "The Noodle Effect," coming out on June 16. Read on for what both Spag and Micah had to say about their stunning collaboration.

"With 'Never Thought,' I wanted to make a song that didn't focus on basslines but rather on a grand, majestic melodic theme. Micah's powerful voice and big, atmospheric style was the perfect fit for this one. His voice and lyrics gave the song emotional depth that, together with the uplifting melody and raw bass cuts, feels like a journey that ends in a big sort of space-battle climax. More than just a melodic dubstep song, to me, it's a story of human emotion and music as an escape." - Spag Heddy

"I was on tour with my band and recorded this topline in the trailer on an off day. Hurricane Irma had just blown into Atlanta at the same time we did, so we had to pull over. After getting out of the trailer, I realized quite a few tall trees had blown over, and maybe recording in the middle of hurricane winds in the forest wasn't the smartest idea. I sent to Spag Heddy, and the rest is history!" - Micah Martin

Micah Martin

Micah Martin was born June 27, 1992, in the Quad Cities. Growing up, he always knew that he wanted to entertain/perform in front of the masses. This would later come to fruition, as he would go on to perform his music in front of sold-out crowds at The Hollywood Palladium, Red Rocks, Spring Awakening, and Lost Lands, to name a few. If he's not busy writing rock'n'roll anthems with his band - The Zealots, you can find him crafting up his own style of alternative pop in his studio. You might recognize his voice if you play Fortnite or Rocket League, as his songs are in frequent rotation within those games. In 2020, Martin got his first cut with Don Diablo, Imanbek, and Trevor Daniel. This song is called "Kill Me Better," and it has gotten international radio play all over the world. Travis Barker would later remix "Kill Me Better" and add his own alternative flare to the song. Micah has also worked with some of the biggest names in dance music, such as Jauz, Kayzo, SLANDER, Brooks, Rebelion, Dirty Palm, Bear Grillz, Black Tiger Sex Machine, William Black, Fairlane, Crystal Skies, Ghastly, Frank Zummo, PhaseOne, and more. In 2022 Martin completed his debut album with Executive Producer Felmax. "These songs are my babies, and I hold them dear to my heart. I hope they can speak to you and help you with whatever you're going through in life. Music is a medicine that we all need daily."
