Role Model shares 'going out' music video.

Role Model has shared a brand new song and music video 'going out' - an ode to staying in, which sees him in the music video opting to iron and chill out in a bath instead of being "in the club looking for cupid." Instead, he relatably sings, "I be on my couch alone and useless."

The song follows the release of 'blind' earlier this year, both lifted from an upcoming project he describes as having "a brand new tone of confidence."
