“Amnesia“: Yelawolf & J. Michael Phillips Unveil Soulful Genre Fusion on “Whiskey & Roses”
“Amnesia,” a standout track from Yelawolf and J. Michael Phillips, is a potent offering from their compelling collaborative album, Whiskey & Roses, which hit the airwaves today, July 11, 2025.
This album boldly weaves together hip-hop, country, and rock elements, consistently pushing conventional genre boundaries with its raw vulnerability and deeply soulful storytelling.
This song fits seamlessly within this distinctive fusion, prominently featuring both artists’ unique vocal deliveries and their shared exploration of personal struggles and profound reflection.
The track is an integral part of a larger project that has garnered comparisons to the evolution of country-rap since Kid Rock’s Devil Without a Cause, drawing clear influences from early 2000s rock, contemporary hip-hop, and classic country sounds.
The official music video premiered earlier, on June 26, 2025, and is readily available for viewing on YouTube.
The entire Whiskey & Roses album is released under Yelawolf’s independent label, Slumerican, featuring production that amplifies the emotional depth and the duo’s genre-blurring sound.
Yelawolf and Phillips are currently touring together on Yelawolf’s 45 Tour, bringing their compelling new material to live audiences.
“Amnesia” truly exemplifies the duo’s steadfast commitment to pushing musical boundaries while consistently delivering heartfelt, authentic narratives that resonate with listeners.
Quotable Lyrics:
She only calls me when she’s lonely
After she’s had her fun that’s when she wants to see me
Just give it three weeks that’s when my phone rings
Same song different memory
I swear to God you got amnesia
You only see me when you
Staring at the window from the outside
I swear to God you got amnesia
You only see me when you
Staring at the window from the outside
I know you well
Remember rolling down the back roads
Rolling up a little good smoke
You and me put on a good show
Sipping whiskey out a bottle
And I had you hitting high notes
(I know you well)
I recall you was a good girl
But you wasn’t good enough to ever say “no”
You was all about the peso’s and the bankrolls
Brand names clothes say so
(I know you well)
Take a minute, bitch, and look back
You was a trailer-park hood rat
I gave it all to you but giving you everything
Was a problem from the beginning
You gotta admit that
(I know you well)
I had to clip her like a Draco
Cut her right up off the payroll
All that I did for you
Just for attitude no gratitude
Stop
