Gumbo Music Architect, Singer-Songwriter-Producer, KEITHIAN Releases His Third Single, "FIGHT BACK" In Anticipation of His New Album, "HUMAN | SINNER" (Available on October 24th)

 

“Fight Back” is one of the most fiery and unfiltered records from Keithian’s upcoming HUMAN | SINNER LP. It’s the sound of hitting your limit, when love starts to feel more like a game of survival than a safe place. It was written by Keithian and produced by Oliver Delcros.

Blending aggressive bounce with raw confessions, Keithian lays it all out: “You let that pussy deceive / And now it’s taking a toll / ‘Cause I’ve been paying the fee.” The song reflects the moment when trust breaks, ego clashes, and passion turns to power struggle. But beneath the edge, there's a deeper emotional conflict where desire lingers, as it's time to walk away.

“‘Fight Back’ is the tug-of-war between the version of me that wants to fix things and the version of me that’s tired of being played,” Keithian shares. “It’s that moment where you know someone is pushing your buttons, and part of you still wants to hold on, but the other part is finally ready to fight for your peace. In the end all I can do is save myself.” - Keithian

With sharp verses, hypnotic melodies, and a brutally honest hook, “Fight Back” doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It shows the emotional exhaustion that comes from trying to love someone who’s inconsistent, manipulative, or just not ready to meet you where you are. As part of HUMAN | SINNER, this record embodies the “Sinner” side which are the human flaws, the hurtful words, the mistakes made in love, but also the strength that comes from finally choosing yourself.

The HUMAN | SINNER LP is an intimate invitation into Keithian’s world. The album unpacks the grief of losing his brother, the push-and-pull between love and self-protection in past relationships, and the battles with desire and self-doubt. Through it all, Keithian delivers the raw, cinematic storytelling that defines his artistry. His self-described “Gumbo Music” blends R&B, Pop, Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, and his Southern roots into a sound that feels both timeless and entirely his own.

“Ultimately, I want my music to be known for good vibes, humility, inspiration, and truth,” he said. “My soul is a gumbo of music, just like the world we live in. And since I make music for the people, and there’s people of all kinds of tastes & stories, I’ll let them choose what message they receive from me.”

On October 24th, Keithian, will be releasing his forthcoming anticipated LP, "Human | Sinner", the ten-song LP will be released under his new label partnership with the SRG-ILS Group/Virgin Music/Universal Music Group.
