MICHAEL MONROE – “Rockin’ Horse” and album details

When music suddenly appears, doesn’t ask permission, and then sweeps you away with swagger, sweat, and soul—that’s rare. And damn special. Michael Monroe, eternal rock ‘n’ roll frontman with glam genes and a punk past, delivers just that with his upcoming studio album “Outerstellar.”

The first single, “Rockin’ Horse,” is already out—along with a must-see video: https://youtu.be/ffWbaYsOGHU?si=Vo3L0iEzIhQ7AV6V

The whole video was shot by Leigh Brooks, who stages Monroe on a fictional TV breakfast show—including an unusual revelation: Monroe without makeup for the first time. No masquerade, no filter, just pure joy and a powerful song.

“‘Rockin’ Horse’ is a cool rock song for which we shot a really fun video,” says Monroe. “I play the host of a morning show – without any makeup. Great fun, good times. I hope you like it!” And the genre? Forget it. Anyone who wants to pigeonhole Monroe has never understood rock ‘n’ roll. His music smells of leather and freedom, is imbued with attitude, but never arrogant, always inspired by the pure joy of playing. Rock with attitude, heart, and a touch of chaos. Or, to put it in a picture: harmonies in silk scarves lounging on worn-out sofas while outside it’s already morning again.

“Outerstellar” is not a nostalgic swansong—it is a new beginning. With booming guitars, scratchy harmonica, beautiful acoustic moments—and songs that make you dance, scream, sing, and simply forget everything. Exactly what rock in its purest form should always be: an escape, a rush, a damn liberation.
