William McLaughlin—professionally known as WGMC—has just dropped a debut single that’s shaking things up with “Better”. This isn’t some normal soundtrack; it’s like WGMC took a bunch of different rock styles, threw them in a blender, and hit puree.
WGMC isn’t playing by conventional rules. Drawing from an eclectic mix of influences from the funk-rock chaos of Red Hot Chili Peppers to the grunge intensity of Nirvana, he’s made a song that defies simple categorization. “Better” shows this sort of artistic independence, blending multiple musical DNA strands into something nice to the ear. McLaughlin’s commitment to creativity is more than any musical expression— it’s WGMC’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m here, and I’ve got something to say.”
The musical DNA of “Better” feels like a high-octane fusion of rock’s defiant spirit and contemporary sonic adventure. You can hear vibes of Royal Blood‘s powerful riffs, mixed with the experimental vibe of Primus, a sign McLaughlin’s approach isn’t about creating music; it’s about creating an experience. His philosophy—“If in doubt, have a good time”—bleeds through every note of “Better”, transforming the track from a mere song into a vibrant, living entity.
For a debut single, “Better” shows musical maturity. It’s clear that McLaughlin has absorbed influences from an impressively diverse musical palette—everything from rock legends like the Rolling Stones to jazz innovators like Miles Davis. This is the freaking definition of musical intelligence translated into sound. The single works as an appetizer for his upcoming album, promising listeners a full-course meal of hard rock that refuses to be boxed into traditional genres. WGMC is signalling to the music world that he’s not here to follow trends, but to create them.
Rock fans, take note: William McLaughlin is an artist you have to watch. “Better” isn’t an ordinary debut single—it’s a revolution waiting to explode. Just prepare for a musical journey that promises to be anything but ordinary.
