This is the new single and music video from alt pop/rock artist August Royals. Called "Skintight Crazy”, August collaborated with producer Jon Class (Medium Build, Michigander). He shares, "This is a song that captures the lingering effects of letting go of a relationship, realizing you're in love with who they were and not who they are anymore. It's a song recognizing the highlight reel of love while being aware that's all it is, a highlight reel. For a hopeless romantic, you'll always have the what-ifs."

August Royals has garnered acclaim from the likes of Pigeons & Planes, V Magazine, and Lyrical Lemonade, among others. He has worked alongside artists such as Kevin Abstract of Brockhampton, Ryan Beatty, and Dominic Fike.

Garnering praise from V Magazine, Rollacoaster, Lyrical Lemonade, and more, August Royals quickly started making a name for himself in 2021. August was selected as part of Pigeons & Planes’ highly coveted “Best New Artists,” he was heralded as “the rare kind of talent who’s positioned to strike the difficult balance between artistry and accessibility.” August signed with RCA Records for the release of his debut single “Blue Football” gaining nods and critical acclaim. 

In 2022 August Royals released his debut EP, Inhaler, a nine-track, multi-genre reflection of his own experiences and struggles. Departing from RCA, August decided to pause and spend time developing who he wanted to be as an artist. After working alongside artists such as Kevin Abstract of Brockhampton, Ryan Beatty, and Dominic Fike, August was ready to reevaluate his own taste and self-discovery as an artist.

 After a year quietly spent offline and in the studio, August Royals has returned, coming into 2025 with a handful of songs that are his self-proclaimed “best to date and most authentic” with his first single “American Spirit” boasting a unique vocal performance that still maintains pop accessibility for new listeners. Now coming in strong with a carefully finessed fresh take on pop, is “Skintight Crazy”, an upbeat track that captures his take on how the love of today can be the confusion and hurt of tomorrow. With this second independent release, it seems like August Royals is finally ready to reach new heights.
