Cameron Whitcomb releases “Gasoline & Matches,” a burning anthem of memory and heartbreak
Singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb turns up the heat with his latest release “Gasoline & Matches,” out now via Atlantic Records. The new single, produced by longtime collaborator Jack Riley, captures the aftermath of love gone awry with unrelenting emotional force.
Co-written by Whitcomb, Riley, and Chance Emerson, the song leans into the idea that no matter how much of a past you try to erase, memories linger. “You can pretty much get rid of everything except the memories,” says Cameron — a sentiment that anchors the track’s fire-and-ashes metaphor.
The new release comes on the heels of “Bad Apple,” which marked a breakthrough moment at Alternative Radio, debuting as the #2 Most Added song nationwide. With songwriting support from Nolan Sipe and Cal Shapiro, “Bad Apple” further showcased Whitcomb’s shift into an edgier, more alternative territory. 
With over 7 million monthly Spotify listeners, 300 million streams worldwide, and millions of followers on social media, Whitcomb is continuing his strong 2025 streak. Recent releases like “My Expense,” featuring Evan Honer, and the cinematic “Hundred Mile High,” have built anticipation around every move he makes.
With “Gasoline & Matches,” Cameron Whitcomb delivers yet another deeply personal and emotionally resonant piece that reflects the strength of memory — even after everything else has gone up in flames.
