June 13th, 2025 – Wingtip announces Luckyman, his highly anticipated sophomore album set to arrive October 17th, 2025. The announcement coincides with the release of the project’s electrifying lead single, “Bloodstream” — a bold, maximalist pop-rock anthem that captures the dizzying rush of infatuation. With Luckyman, Wingtip continues to blur genre lines and push sonic boundaries, offering a thrilling glimpse of what’s to come.
Born Nick Perloff-Giles, Wingtip has carved a distinctive niche with his fusion of nostalgic soft rock, vivid pop, and cinematic electronic flourishes. On Luckyman, he reaches new creative heights, channeling his evolution as both a songwriter and producer.
“Bloodstream” opens with a glistening piano melody and breathy vocals, building toward an exuberant chorus drenched in rich guitar swells and dynamic instrumentation. Lyrically, Wingtip rides the line between romantic obsession and joyous surrender.
“It was the most fun song to make,” explains Wingtip. “We were plunking down on the piano, and the whole tune came together in an hour. It’s very maximalist. Lyrically, it’s about feeling excited for someone, but it almost toes the line between obsession and infatuation.”
Luckyman was conceived during an immersive, four-day retreat in the remote Malibu mountains, where Wingtip collaborated closely with Theo Kandel and Jack Kleinick. Stripping away digital distractions, the trio tracked the album live using a rich palette of instrumentation, including saxophone, pedal steel guitar, banjo, strings, and more. The result is a deeply textured and emotionally resonant album that blends vintage warmth with modern dynamism.
Building on past fan favorites like “You, Me, and the Flood” and “Think About,” Luckyman explores themes of hope, gratitude, and self-reflection.
“I’ve been putting Wingtip out for a long time now. The sound has obviously evolved. Simultaneously, it’s also been a decade of growth and change for me as a person. With Luckyman, I’m taking stock of how everybody around me is doing as they move through phases of their lives in different ways. One of the benefits of getting older and wiser is you appreciate where you’re at in the moment more—I know I definitely do,” says Wingtip.
Wingtip, first introduced to the world in 2017, has since amassed hundreds of millions of streams and collaborated with artists such as Adam Lambert, Lauv, and Céline Dion. With Luckyman, he steps fully into his own as an artist of rare vision and emotional depth.
