HEALTH and Chelsea Wolfe have released their first collaborative single, "MEAN" [2, 8, 9]. The single was released on May 5, 2025 [2, 9]. This collaboration brings together the distinct sounds of both artists, blending industrial rock with gothic influences [2, 7].
Wolfe recently launched her album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She in 2024 [2, 3]. HEALTH has also been actively engaging in collaborative singles, including partnerships with Filter and Chvrches' Lauren Mayberry [2, 5].
"MEAN" offers listeners a mix of dark vocals and pulsating keyboard textures [2]. The lyrics explore themes of eroded relationships and internal emotions externalized unfairly [5]. The single is produced by Stint, who also produced HEALTH's RAT WARS LP, and mixed by Lars Stalfors [8].
HEALTH is currently on their "RAT WARS EXPANSION Tour," with a U.S. leg running through May 15th, 2025, and a European leg in June, followed by a second U.S. leg in the fall [8, 7]. Wolfe will also be touring North America in September, supporting Wardruna [8].
