Role Model introduces ‘Chuck Timely & The Hourglass’ with lead single ‘High Hopes 3000’

Having last week confirmed that his third studio album, ‘Chuck Timely & The Hourglass’, will hit shelves on 7th August via Polydor, Role Model (aka Tucker Pillsbury) has now officially raised the curtain on this next chapter with lead single ‘High Hopes 3000’.

The follow-up to his 2024 effort ‘Kansas Anymore’, the record has been extensively teased over recent weeks by way of fans receiving old-school acquaintance cards from one ‘Chuck Timely’ in the post, before an Instagram account belonging to the mysterious (apparently time-travelling) stranger appeared.

Continuing to cement Role Model’s status as king of the country-pop insurgence into the mainstream, ‘High Hopes 3000’ is an earworm hoedown that sees him balance romantic cynicism with a yearning for connection (all while on roller skates, if the track’s video is anything to go by).
