To this new music, the internet is buzzing. The Australian singer and songwriter dropped the second installment of the ‘Angels & Gentlemen Mixtape Vol II’, with a teaser that sent his long-time fans into a frenzy. Neither of the two releases has already been viewed in full on YouTube; the link is in his bio for those interested.

The post went viral all over the internet as Simpson just loses it on the guitar shredding almost fierce with fury. The raw energy of that clip is evident in the caption: ‘Full version now on YouTube. Link in bio. Angels & Gentlemen Mixtape Vol II, Drop 2.’ Not a single bit of marketing jargon; just pure fire ready to be consumed.
The reactions came pouring in: ‘Daisies needs this guitar solo now,’ one user yelled, referring to Simpson’s past work. ‘A Cody Simpson music comeback is exactly what I needed during my quarter-life crisis,’ added another, confirming that his sound resonates deeply with all those who grew up with his music.
Comments were major hits for nostalgia: “Feels like I’m back in 2013,” one commented, and another said, “The legend himself coming back.” But the excitement was not just about the past-anyone was already fantasizing about future collaborations: “Mate, a John Mayer collab would be epic. Also one with Jack Johnson.”
In response to the toolbox of talent, someone commented, “Guitar solo is sooo sick!!!” Another stated, “Everything this guy touches, turns into gold.” This is some high praise, but really, anyone that has worked hard for over a decade deserves it.
Justin Bieber was mentioned by a few, with one fan begging, “CODY AND JB OMG REMAKE HOME TO MOMMA.” Time will tell if it ever happens, but the demand is there.
Perhaps one of the quirks is the artists’ evolving without leaving his original listeners out-they have been drawn to Simpson ever since. So this mixture of nostalgia plus fresh energy in this drop says that’s not just coming back; he’s going forward.
