Buzzing pop singer-songwriter Haiden Henderson has finally released his highly anticipated single "hell of a good time." First teasing it with a video recorded on the streets of New York that made waves last month, the song is an exhilarating effort with mosh-worthy instrumentals and swooning vocals, making it the ultimate track to listen to while getting ready for a night out.

"hell of a good time"  is instantly magnetic, opening with shuffle-beat percussion patterns, edgy guitar riffs, and throbbing bass grooves. Henderson's enigmatic vocals paint a picture of a woman who's secretly a sharp-nailed devil disguised as a "candy-coated" daydream with a lethal kiss. As he continues to warn the listener, he describes the stranglehold she has over him, causing him to come at her beck and call as she slowly pushes him over the edge. Henderson's mesmerizing falsetto vocals shine on the chorus as he convinces himself he could be her savior, adding an ethereal, angelic element to a track about his seductive, "hell of a good time" love interest.

Henderson commented about “hell of a good time," sharing, “The night before writing this, I went to a rock concert and was jealous of how massive their opening song sounded. I came into the studio desperate for something that put the two sides of my world together: pop vocals/melodies with a rock and roll backbone.”

"hell of a good time" also marks the beginning of Henderson’s full artist project, Haiden Henderson. He explains this change as a planned evolution of his artistry, “I got sucked into this world when the 15th song I ever wrote went viral, and since then, I’ve been experimenting with the kind of music that feels the most like me. I’m adding my last name as a way to tell everyone that I found it.”
