Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has released a new solo single, “Already Over”. Watch the music video for the song, directed and animated by Dusty Deen and featuring visuals contributed by Shinoda, Frank Maddocks, Mark Fiore and Mike Miller below. Shinoda said about the song: “‘Already Over’ came to me as I was sitting with my favorite guitar in my hands — the same guitar I used on songs from ‘What I’ve Done’ to ‘In My Head’. There was a familiar DNA to the song that I think Linkin Park fans will recognize. For me, it creates a bridge from the past to a blurry but exciting future.” Along with “Already Over” Shinoda will release a connected online game via his web site next week. 

Mike continued about the song and video game tie-in:

“In the bigger picture, this release takes some of my favorite things about releasing music and assembles them in a different way — with more music, games, challenges, great things to watch, and lots of new art on the way,” he said.
