Telling Secrets has dropped a new single and music video. The thunderous, angst-laced anthem, "Paranoid" is out now.

Back with their first new music of 2025 the project, led by Vik Kovacs, strikes with a gripping track that hits the sweet spot between alternative rock and metalcore.

On the the story behind the new song, Kovacs shares: “Last year, I had the misfortune of having my home broken into. I felt a sense of anxiety and violation in a space that by definition should be safe and mine. For the first few nights I had an extreme sense of paranoia, to the point where I didn’t feel safe going to bed. I took my anger towards the uninvited individual out on this song, in an attempt to let go, I wrote “Paranoid”.

The secret is out...

Based between London and Los Angeles, alternative rock emergent Telling Secrets burst onto the scene in 2024, with a collision of arena-ready choruses and explosive breakdowns.

Last year's debut album, Telling Secrets I was a spectacular first entry for the band. Featuring a stacked set of rock ragers, the band nods to a dexterous array of influence from Dayseeker to The Used to Sleep Token.

"Telling Secrets is set to shake up the scene with a myriad of eclectic styles converging, united by a balanced and slick production thanks to some esteemed collaborators" - Loudwire

Kovacs collared a host of big names for Telling Secrets I, with Matt McAndrew (Rain City Drive), Elliot Polokoff (Cemetery Sun) and Rachel Blum (Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B) all taking a place behind the controls. New single, "Paranoid" sees George Perks (Caskets, Sleep Token) on production duties, as Telling Secrets continues to relish the art of collaboration.

But, amidst the palpable atmosphere and riveting sonic stylings of the new track, Kovacs' songmanship still shines through. The candid tale of anguish sits against a backdrop of cascading guitars and thunderous drums, as Telling Secrets continues to forge an electric connection with a quickly growing audience.
