Masked country-rock artist Red Leather has just released his new power ballad, “Ghost Town”, following his European tour.

Since his debut, Red Leather has kept his identity shrouded behind a red-fringed cowboy hat and a face-covering bandana, letting the music speak for itself. Influenced by country and alternative rock, his sound also draws from emo, blues, and hip-hop, blending cinematic visuals with themes of isolation and the American West. His debut album, Reno, first released in 2023 and reissued in 2025 as a deluxe edition, established him as a unique voice in modern alternative music.

On “Ghost Town”, Red Leather’s outlaw-style vocals ride over haunting guitar melodies, capturing themes of heartbreak and emptiness: the song tells of a city built up and burned down, leaving nothing behind. Fresh off a sold-out European tour and millions of global streams, Red Leather continues to engage fans through electrifying live shows and creative social content, all while preserving the enigmatic mystique that surrounds him.
