The genre-defying single “Luke 17 26 a World Gone Mad” was released on July 4, 2025, marking the continuation of Bruce Nowlin’s explosive rise. Known for his string of Top 40 chart-topping songs, including “John 3:16” (IMPALA multi-platinum #1), “Be My Baby,” “Dead Man’s Folly,” and “Lean On,” Bruce’s most recent release combines drum-and-bass intensity, ethereal synth passages, and glossy piano flourishes to create a seamless, captivating statement. The 4:40 duration of the single allows him to experiment freely while still delivering the emotional impact that his fans seek.
Nowlin’s lush soundscapes, which combine nostalgic ’80s synth-romance with contemporary rhythmic drive, will feel very familiar to fans of Yanni, Vangelis, Herbie Hancock, Jan Hammer, Harold Faltermeyer, or Kebu. After taking rock guitar lessons in the 1980s, influenced by AC/DC and Def Leppard, he soon turned to synthesizers, percussion, and bass guitar. This change set the groundwork for his highly layered and varied output.
SoundScape calls Bruce Nowlin’s work “fresh and a welcome addition to the scene,” while Artist on Rise lauds him as a “music wizard—his fingertips are enough to calm your mind.” Empire Music praised the album’s “controlled chaos” in 3rd Dimension, a well-balanced blend of inspiration and gloom that rewards listeners who immerse themselves with top-tier headphones.
Bruce’s signature style is amplified in “World Gone Mad.” This is a bold, creative, and emotionally charged declaration of musical identity rather than just another single. This song serves as both a fascinating introduction to his world and a testament to his development for both new and devoted fans. Your ears will appreciate the aural adventure, so don’t miss it.
