RMR hornily reworks Matchbox 20’s “3AM” on “The Wishing Hour”
The anonymous, unclassifiable, balaclava-clad singer RMR was propelled to cult stardom in February when, from seemingly nowhere, he released "Rascal," an uncannily faithful remake of Rascal Flatts' country-pop ballad "Bless The Broken Road." The single hilariously flipped the tank-top earnestness of the original (best captured in this live recording) into a brazen track about hustling, scamming, and making it to the top — but it wasn't entirely a piss-take. It was clear that RMR (real name still very much unknown) had a raspy and rewarding voice, and he did genuinely seem to believe in the melody that allowed him to sing "fuck 12" with such conviction.
