World’s First Cinema have released their new single “Broken” featuring JD Cliffe via Fearless Records. This marks their final single from their debut record, Something of Wonder, set for release July 11, 2025. The song reflects on the feeling among musicians that “the music industry is missing inspiration, and that true artistry is fading.”
World’s First Cinema shared their thoughts on the track below:
‘Broken’ feels like one of the most unique tracks on the album for us. It’s our most electronic-leaning production to date, but also feels like one of our most cinematic. Lyrically, it picks up where their previous single “End Of My Rope” leaves off. While that song is about being on the edge of giving up, ‘Broken’ is about taking a deep breath and pushing forward. It’s a declaration that you’ll never truly give up, and that the only real failure is quitting. As long as you’re creating something that matters to you, you’ve already won.
The track features London-based rapper JD Cliffe. After sending him the track and explaining the emotion behind it, they gave him full creative freedom. What he sent back is exactly what ended up on the record.
World’s First Cinema also announced this week an album release show for their forthcoming record on Thursday, August 7th at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles. Their friend Lyncs will be opening for them. For fans unable to attend, they will also be performing all three weekends of Warped Tour this year.
