Whethan Drops Lead Single from Highly Anticipated Debut Album [MUST LISTEN]
Whethan teased his debut album Fantasy just last week, and we’ve now got the first single from the project out in the wild, “Stay Forever” with STRFKR.
This is definitely a different side to Whethan than we’ve seen previously, surely in no small part due to STRFKR’s influence on the single. It carries more of an alt rock vibe to it than something you’d hear at an EDM festival, so it will be interesting to hear how he weaves it into his sets on the short Fantasy Tour starting in March.
“Stay Forever” comes with a tripped out music video featuring both artists — maybe hinting at a Whethan live set?
Ticket sales begin today at 10am local time. dates will be announced soon. For complete details and ticket

Whethan Teases New Album & Returns To Doing Shows
Whethan dropped his project Life of a Wallflower Vol. 1 back in 2018, spanning 8 wonderful tracks including “Good Nights” with Mascolo and “Be Like You” with Broods. The press materials for the project deliberately avoided calling it an “album” at the time, as it sort of skirted that in between space between an EP and an LP. Now, however, Whethan isn’t pulling any punches and has officially begun teasing his new (or debut) album, Fantasy.
The producer tweeted on Christmas Eve, “the first single off my album is officially scheduled,” so it’s safe to assume that none of the tracks off the album are ones that have already been released. That doesn’t mean fans might not have heard the tracks, though, at any of Whethan’s past shows.
Fans will apparently be able to hear the album in full, or at least lots of it, at some select shows in March and April in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. He announced he was cancelling two gigs back in September to focus on his mental health, so this should be a very exciting welcome back. The first single is due out next week.
