Medium Build Shares Wistful New Single ‘Home Depot’
American singer-songwriter Medium Build has released a new single, 'Home Depot', a wistful character study of emotionally repressed men who focus on outward signs of success rather than their inner lives. The track follows his acclaimed 2024 album 'Country', which brought him wider recognition but also personal pressures, prompting a more introspective direction on his forthcoming record.
'Home Depot' draws on 90s pop-country influences, reflecting time the artist spends in Nashville, and paints a sympathetic yet critical portrait of men who appear as stepdads, uncles, fathers or husbands. The song is taken from his new album 'King of Having Fun', due for release on 4th September, which delves more deeply into mental health themes than his previous work.
In short
- Medium Build releases new single 'Home Depot'
- Song examines emotionally closed-off men and their impact on others
- New album 'King of Having Fun' arrives 4th September
Explained simply
Medium Build is an American singer-songwriter who gained wider recognition with his 2024 album Country. This breakthrough success brought unexpected personal pressures, which prompted a shift towards more introspective songwriting.
His recent work explores the emotional lives of ordinary men—stepfathers, uncles, fathers and husbands—who tend to prioritise outward signs of success over their inner worlds. Drawing on 90s pop-country influences, he creates sympathetic yet critical character studies that examine emotional repression and what lies beneath the surface.
His new album deepens this thematic focus with an explicit examination of mental health. The work represents a more personal and psychologically-focused artistic direction, emerging from the pressures that followed his breakthrough success.
