Mitchell Ferguson’s new single Gold is another reminder that he can dip into any sub-genre without ever sounding out of place. The moody guitar lines blend seamlessly with the subtle beat pulsing underneath, giving the track an edge that still feels warm and inviting. It’s funny how every style he tries out just works every time, and Gold is no exception.
The writing is sharp, and the structure feels tight in a way that highlights what Ferguson always does best—deliver a vocal performance that’s unmistakably his. That classic Mitchell delivery anchors the entire song, making the message he’s trying to get across land effortlessly. Even with the production leaning into a moodier space, nothing ever feels overdone or forced.
Ferguson continues to make a strong case as the most underrated artist in the Texas scene, and watching his recent rise has been both deserved and overdue. Gold feels like another step in that upward momentum, showing he can evolve while staying true to the qualities that made longtime listeners latch onto him. If this is the direction he’s moving in, the pop he’s been generating lately won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
