Bankrol Hayden: I refuse to bid summer farewell and this ‘Obvious’ anthem is helping the sizzles sizzling

Long headline but I have to keep it a buck when I hear anthems. How about loading up rap crooner Bankrol Hayden’s ‘Obvious’ smash with the summer still going strong? Say less.

Bankrol Hayden delivers with the ‘Obvious’ anthem

It’s more than just a fire tune. It’s the type of audio gem you play with the windows down and with the workout goals fully activated during the hottest season of the year.

Pop artist Bankrol Hayden officially launches the pre-order for his upcoming album Middle of Somewhere, arriving September 26 via The Orchard, with the release of his brand-new single “Obvious” out today.

“Obvious” delivers Hayden’s signature melodic energy, setting the stage for his most complete body of work yet. The single follows the success of recent drops like “NoseBleeds” (with honestav), which has surpassed 1.65M streams worldwide, and “2AM Somewhere” (with charlieonnafriday), now at over 6.2M streams. Together, the tracks highlight Hayden’s momentum leading into Middle of Somewhere.

With over a billion career streams to date and a fanbase that stretches from Modesto to Tokyo, Hayden steps confidently into a new era with Middle of Somewhere. The 12-track project captures his evolution, balancing the raw energy that first put him on the map with a more polished, emotionally driven sound that reflects where he’s headed.

Speaking on the release, Hayden says, “When ‘Obvious’ came on during a playback session, everyone in the room gravitated toward it. Every time I play it for someone new, it’s always the track they bring up first. It just has that energy.”

“Obvious” is available now on all platforms. Middle of Somewhere arrives September 26.
