Livingston Releases New Single ‘Faces’
Produced by Neal Avron, the song is the latest preview of Livingston’s forthcoming project, ‘The Atomic Cowboy.’
Livingston has released “Faces,” a new single from his forthcoming project, The Atomic Cowboy. The alt-pop singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist moves between different personas in search of love, considering what can be lost when someone reshapes themselves to meet another person’s expectations.

Produced by Neal Avron, whose credits include Twenty One Pilots and Fall Out Boy, “Faces” centers on the pull between self-reinvention and self-recognition. Livingston offered a brief message to listeners who see themselves in the song: “If you wear a different face every day, I wrote this song for you. Hang in there kid.”
The track follows a series of singles Livingston has released this year: “Shapeshifter,” “Radiostar,” and “Recognize.” He has also started a weekly podcast, “For The Outsiders,” aimed at people looking for ways to get out of their heads and engage more fully with the world. Last week’s episode featured an interview with UFC legend Chuck Liddell, known as “Iceman.”
Earlier this summer, “Paper Crowns” began Livingston’s next musical chapter. It was his first single after his debut album, A Hometown Odyssey, and its deluxe edition, A Hometown Odyssey (The Story Continues). Livingston wrote and produced the album in his childhood bedroom before releasing it independently in 2024. The album has accumulated more than one billion global streams, while its introduction featured Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons. It reached No. 2 on Spotify’s U.K. Album Debut chart and No. 3 on the U.S. and Global Album Debut charts. The album cycle also included headline tours across North America, Europe, and the U.K., selling more than 50,000 tickets.
