Los Angeles, CA. – “Mulholland Drive”, a bittersweet, cinematic romance by John Conlin, is dropping Friday, August 29, 2025. Once you hear it, you’ll find that John captures the tension between a love that feels eternal and the moment that is destined to end.
“Mulholland Drive”, is a powerful, synth-driven anthem about a secret, one-night meeting with a true love, a fleeting connection above the glow of the Los Angeles city lights. The song’s sound is both nostalgic and unmistakably modern, creating a soundscape that feels romantic, bittersweet, and constantly in motion.
Listeners will notice echoes of the anthemic, story-driven rock of Springsteen mixed with the modern, synth-driven feel of Lady GaGa’s Born this Way record. The result is a track that is perfect for driving, an immersive sonic experience that puts the listener directly in the driver’s seat for this covert rendezvous.
“Mulholland Drive”, is a song for anyone who has ever found beauty in a temporary love. It’s for the romantics who understand that some of the most profound connections are the ones that can’t last. This is the perfect soundtrack for a solitary drive with the top down at night, thinking about what was, what is, and what could have been. The track solidifies Conlin’s ability to tell deeply human stories within a grand, cinematic pop framework.
“Mulholland Drive”, was written and produced by John Conlin and John McLucus.
