new song
By Justin Tyler · 2 hours ago About ‘foolish spender’, their single
Justin Tyler has a little something for his fans.
Without much warning, the singer-songwriter has released a brand-new standalone single, “Foolish Spender,” available now. Arriving as a surprise gift to listeners while his solo tour continues, the track gives fans something new to enjoy before Justin eventually heads to Japan and returns to work on his highly anticipated third album.
The release comes at an interesting point in Justin's career. Following his debut album, Lonesome Wanderer, and its follow-up, Rushville, Justin has spent much of the past year on the road, performing solo and revisiting songs from both records. His recent EP, From All Sides, also offered a glimpse into the spontaneous songwriting that developed during the Rushville tour.
“Foolish Spender,” however, is something of a standalone moment.
A little surprise for the fans
In a brief message accompanying the release, Justin explained that the song wasn't necessarily part of a larger album rollout. Instead, he simply wanted to give people something new.
“I've been spending a lot of time on the road, playing these songs every night, and I wanted to put something out that wasn't tied to a big announcement or a whole album campaign. Just a song. Something for the people who've been coming to the shows, listening to the records, and sticking around. I thought it'd be a nice little gift for everyone.”
The title has already sparked curiosity among listeners, with its suggestion of someone who spends a little too freely — whether that's money, time, love, or perhaps all three.
Justin hasn't revealed too much about the song's meaning, leaving listeners to make their own interpretations.
What's next?
The single doesn't appear to change Justin's immediate plans. His solo tour is still underway, with Japan planned as its final destination before he takes a short break and heads back into the studio to continue developing his third album.
For now, though, Justin is happy to let “Foolish Spender” have its own moment.
And perhaps that's the point: no elaborate rollout, no lengthy countdown, just a new song for the fans.
