Kid Bookie has once again joined forces with the legendary Corey Taylor, kicking off a brand-new era with explosive single ‘Blame’.
With the pair’s creative partnership now spanning over a decade, their latest venture is as grippingly raw and emotional as you might expect. On ‘Blame’, there are no egos involved, with both musicians stripping it back and confronting personal truths, accountability and growth.
Speaking on the meaning behind the track, Kid Bookie has shared:
“Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one. Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions. I’m around some of the best people who practise that in more ways than one. Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade, but I feel this record is a coming of age, even for us. New territory, but a familiar approach to make sure we embolden each other through music. This song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record, truly an honour to keep pushing the envelope with someone who has just pushed it as far as it can go, but has completely revamped what the envelope fucking is.”
And on teaming up with his friend once more, Corey has said:
“Books is one of my favourite people, not just artists, and every time he comes to me with an opportunity to create with him, I’m always excited because I know I’m going to hear something I’ve never heard before. ‘Blame’ was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I’d do! I’m proud of the song, and I’m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.”
Take a listen to the thought-provoking collaboration below:
The start of a fearlessly confident new era for Kid Bookie, ‘Blame’ sets the stage for the arrival of his forthcoming album, which is expected to drop later in 2026.

Kid Bookie has unleashed a brand-new single with Corey Taylor, Blame.
The pair’s latest collab – following 2019’s Stuck In My Ways and 2022’s Game, and not forgetting last year’s Get Out with Corey’s son Griffin – reportedly gears things up for the arrival of Bookie’s next studio album, which will come out later this year according to a press release.
“Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one,” Bookie shares of the meaning behind Blame. “Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions.

Dewayne Bailey played with Bob Seger from 1983 to 1986 and was with Chicago for a decade after that, but he gives himself zero grace. “I’m very brutal about myself and my time with both bands,” he tells ClassicRockHistory.com. “But at the end of the day, I was incredibly humbled and grateful to be given the chance to play with both,” he says. “As they say, ‘Ya live and ya learn.’ The good thing is that you can correct the mistakes you made years ago… and have fun doing it.” It’s a good outlook to have, considering Bailey intends to
