Muse releases new single Hush featuring Ellie Goulding

Muse has released “Hush,” a new single from their tenth studio album, “The Wow! Signal.” The track features English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, creating a vocal contrast between rock tension and melodic passages.

The song explores themes of seeking human connection amidst global instability. It utilizes a soundscape that alternates between heavy riffs and sparse piano arrangements. The album title refers to the 1977 astronomical event where a radio telescope intercepted an enigmatic signal from the Sagittarius constellation.

Frontman Matt Bellamy recently participated in a blind-ranking of the band's discography, placing the track “Cryogen” from the new album highly. He noted that newer material often feels different and reminiscent of the band's early sound.
