Kevin Morby has released a new song called 'Nursery Rhyme', which he describes as the darkest and most violent song he has ever written. The song, featuring Lonnie Holley, is available exclusively on Bandcamp, with all proceeds going to Everytown for Gun Safety, a US-based charity focused on ending gun violence. Morby released the song in response to recent gun violence incidents, including a fatal school shooting in Bend, Oregon. The song is a follow-up to Morby's 2016 track 'Beautiful Strangers', which addressed the Pulse nightclub shooting and the death of Freddie Gray.
Morby recorded 'Nursery Rhyme' in the summer of 2025 and intentionally released it on Bandcamp to avoid the risk of the song appearing in any algorithms or entering someone's psyche without permission. The song contains themes of gun violence against children, and Morby hopes it can provide a space for anger and catharsis. All proceeds from the song will support Everytown for Gun Safety's work to support and educate, take action, and build the movement against gun violence.
