McMillin has always been known for his genre-bending sound and deeply emotive songwriting, but his latest single, "Falling Out of Falling in Love," pushes both to a whole new level. Channeling raw introspection through his love for The Eagles and Blue Öyster Cult-esque “guitarmonies,” the track is a striking mix of classic rock influence and modern vulnerability.
Speaking on the song, McMillin shares, “The lyrics were inspired by a need to take some time for myself after my dating life imploded. I had spent so much time chasing validation through having a partner that I forgot to nurture and water my own personal growth.”
That honesty cuts through each lyric and riff, capturing heartbreak and the self-realization that rises in its wake.
He sings, “Cause if it took a goodbye to see the world around me, Then maybe it’s the kind of thing that only happens, When it’s time to work on yourself, guess I’m falling out of falling in love.” It’s a heavy, sobering realization: sometimes the most painful goodbyes are exactly what we need to grow.
The song begins with McMillin isolated and emotionally shattered. By the closing notes, he’s still alone, but transformed. What once sounded like collapse now resonates as clarity.
With “Falling Out of Falling in Love,” McMillin shows he’s not only holding steady but evolving. Gritty, melodic, and unapologetically honest, the track doesn’t just reflect heartbreak, it redefines it.
McMillin’s career is an unapologetic collision of raw energy and personal truth, where each song pushes boundaries and leaves an undeniable mark. His sound doesn’t play by anyone’s rules, blending the ferocity of modern rock with a touch of punk’s restless energy. From introspective, soul-baring lyrics to riffs that hit with an almost tangible weight, his music is a testament to a journey filled with turmoil, reflection, and relentless creativity.
Featured in EarMilk and other major media outlets, McMillin’s artistry has made waves in the music world, carving out a space where authenticity is non-negotiable. But his musical influence extends far beyond his solo work. In Space Radio and Ratilla, two globally celebrated cover bands based in Nashville, TN, McMillin’s signature guitar work and vocals bring a depth and edge that set these groups apart. They don’t just play cover songs — they make them their own. McMillin’s contribution to these bands transcends the role of a mere performer; his sound shapes the essence of what makes these groups unforgettable. His recent singles have been featured on major editorial playlists such as Apple Music New in Rock and New in Alternative, and Live Nation's Ones to Watch playlist.
In addition, McMillin’s presence in The Stallions, the band fronted by The Voice alum and Alzheimer's research advocate Jay Allen, elevates the group to new heights. As a pivotal member, his guitar and harmonies cut through the noise, adding complexity and energy that fuel every show. He’s not just playing alongside the band — he’s breathing life into it, ensuring each performance becomes an event, something uniquely his, while contributing to the group's collective identity. The band has been seen commanding crowds at Whiskey Jam and packed venues across the country, establishing themselves as one of the most electrifying acts in their genre.
McMillin's live performances are a force of nature, having graced the stages of iconic Nashville venues like EXIT/IN, The End, and Eastside Bowl. He commands attention, whether in a packed venue or in the studio, bringing a presence that is impossible to ignore. This relentless drive and commitment to doing something that matters has solidified his place as one of the most vital forces in music today.
