SCOTT STAPP - Black Butterfly (Lyric Video) | Napalm Records

Stream & Download “Black Butterfly”:
lnk.to/SCOTTST...
One of the best-known voices in rock, Scott Stapp articulates the process of transcending defeat by undergoing transformative growth on “Black Butterfly.” It is the 3rd track revealed from his upcoming album, HIGHER POWER, which will be released on March 15, 2024 with Napalm Records. The grooving stunner flexes undeniable swagger and hauntingly beautiful vocals to embrace personal metamorphosis. As Stapp explains, “Growth is a challenging process. I often write aspirational lyrics about getting to that ‘next level’ - knowing what you’re capable of and rejecting the idea that you’re defined by your mistakes. Overcoming difficulty can lead to increased self-awareness and, in time, wisdom to help others going through similar situations.”
Higher Power, the album, follows Stapp’s triumphant 2019 album, The Space Between The Shadows, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Current Rock Albums chart and the Billboard Current Hard Music Albums chart; #4 on the Billboard Record Label Independent Current Albums chart; #10 on the Billboard Current Physical Albums chart; and #10 on the Billboard Top Current Albums chart, while landing at #3 on the UK’s official Rock and Metal Chart.
Black Butterfly credits:
Written by: Scott Stapp and Kevin “Thrasher” Gruft.
Produced by: KTHRASH and Scott Stapp.
Mixed by: Joel Wanasek.
Mastered by Ted Jensen @ Sterling Sound.

Can't Wait Until March 19th. Scott, you are my Hero for years and years.

[@Brandon2940]

Isn't it March 15th????

[@chrisg.5901]

In Germany it's the 19th 😢

[@BamaGirl1968]

Glad to see you coming back strong! Love it!❤

[@M76Music]

Awesome! 🤘😎🤘🔥

[@keithmichaels4029]

Scott has it

[@lorraineiwan]

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥 Perfect. Love his voice, love the lyrics, the imagery .....my absolute all-time favorite artist and his work as Creed.

[@JamesSmith-kx7ni]

Incredible love this so much. Scott is the best!

[@cavinbardi2375]

I really missed his powerful voice, this is an awesome song!!! Lots of emotion and meaningful lyrics.

[@GraysonCrim2025]

Rocking again Scott. Creed was one of my favorite bands years ago. Good to hear the riffs

[@jandersonmuniz3221]

Scott Stapp as always you are the best! I love your job!

[@GARYBLONDER]

This is the third song I've come across with this title - Leaves Eyes and Enemy Inside both released one in 2021 - but this is by far the best!! It's love at first riff for this truly excellent dreamy headbanging slice of Hard Rock. A killer chorus, great guitar hooks, fab melody, it made my day. It's a must-own. My Score: Excellent 5*

[@happygilmore1844]

Great analysis, Creed as a band from the guitarist to the singer and drummer are truly a gem to behold 😊

[@joserufino2282]

Esse cara continua impressionado com suas letras e música bem feita que talento, meus parabéns Scott vc e o artista!

[@user-um7su9rn6o]

🤩❤️👍❤❤❤

[@colleensullivan1226]

He sounds amazing! Can't wait to get out and see him again!

[@happygilmore1844]

Most definitely...the nostalgia is very strong with this band 😊

[@TheBeastKane]

Just saw Creed with 3 Doors Down on Wednesday they were both awesome!

[@jamescaulpetzer3566]

Always good to hear Scott's voice. Great song and amazing guitar work

[@annalewis3356]

Would that be Mark Trimonti on guitar

[@88drumking]

Yeah, if you were actually hearing his voice. He sounds like T-Pain with all that auto tune.

[@Hawknation24]

Still kick ass

[@pyrolysis2129]

Great song. Sounds like they synthesized his voice. Not sure why, dude can sing. Would have liked to hear what this sounded like without a computers input into his voice.

[@graintrain1284]

I agree

[@Metal-4-Life]

Couldn't agree more. I don't understand it either. He sounds great already and this takes away from it. Makes it feel like I'm listening to pop music. I just got done listening to Higher power and he sounds powerful there naturally. His lyrics and melodies are great as always of course.

[@joshuaansley1361]

It's just an effect, he definitely doesn't need voice processing but still Rocks!!

[@Tine-pp1ys]

Agreed...Doesn't sound like himself. I prefer his deeper soulful voice, not this processed stuff that makes him sound like so many other main stream singers. Scott's voice is unique and smoothe - let Scott be Scott! Don't change what already sounds great! Glad to see him back on his game in full force. Love that Creed is back together too! Hopefully we'll get some new music there as well?!🙏🎙️

[@shawneldridge4465]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻There is just something about the song that I can't get enough of and it's one of my favorites off higher power cd. Also I was hoping that there would be an actual music video for this song.

[@stevenlochrie3951]

Have this song on repeat such an incredible song

[@Yeetgirl1]

Love it

[@markus_aurelius_888]

👌 Love it

[@user-be3fi9qs3n]

Long live for you❤

[@loreagooden2113]

[@rickcraycraft4155]

Amazing track

[@jeffrey8079]

Awesome!

[@Evil4Eyes]

I dont know the team/band Scott is working with but GREAT songs are back. Loved Creed 4 album. Scott keep making great music. Love the guitarist.

[@axelhuerta7297]

Kevin and Scott= Powerful and Killer song 🔥🔥🔥

[@danny5748]

Heard this amazing song on Planetrock digital radio at 2pm ISH this afternoon. 23/12/23. Could only remember the name of the song. ❤❤❤👍🎵

[@jomotioncreative]

Starset vibe...

[@BJVOLS000]

I have always liked Scott sometimes we have to reset our lives and come out hitting I think Scott has done this

[@kirillmanohhin8320]

ОтличнО !!

[@centralia83]

Gotta say Scott is tearing it up right now. Last album was amazing, these 3 singles are just top of the line. He’s on his game. Can’t wait for the whole album, I’m already prepared to hear one hell of an album.

[@mikejackson8150]

Really powerful Really heavy good work out song

[@happygilmore1844]

CREED FOREVER AND EVER AMEN

[@ScottSotera]

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

[@Ratgirl2]

👊👊🙌🙌✌️✌️🤟🤟🤟 great song.

[@CatxBlack]

I used to spend 24/7 in the Creed Chatroom on AOL in the early 2000's! 😅 I'm so glad to see Scott in a healthy place ❤

[@shingerz]

Tune

[@dirtyspitshine]

Surprising amount of processing on his voice...

[@lorraineiwan]

Yes and it's a great effect when the voice underneath is perfect.

[@johnnyrogers8184]

I hear it now that you say it haha .He is getting older I suppose he wanted it pitch perfect .sounds decent

[@horsee45]

Yeah, it’s almost distracting at times. Scott’s voice has been great lately, so not sure why they did this.

[@metalheadrelic9873]

​@@horsee45well we live in the age of autotune so they probably thought it'd be a good idea. It does sound overproduced but I don't hate it.

[@DonaldBell69]

It sounds good for sure but he also sounds like Ozzy at times lol. What he's singing and notes trying to hit are higher than normal and it just sounds off. Had the guitarist and bassist been ok with it, they could have just detuned until in a tunation Scott is comfortable in. But as it is ... ALL ABOARD!!!!!!! lol

[@paulbrown4200]

Damn @ScottStapp loving they heavy sound so far off the new album.

[@jeffersonsantos562]

Mais uma obra de arte de Scott Stap🔥🤘

[@OneWorldOrder33]

Scott Stapp/CREED, Motionless In White, Bad Omens, Alter Bridge/Mark Tremonti and Gojira are my 7favorite bands of all time. Hmmm, my other 3 would be Bullet For My Valentine, Twelve Foot Ninja, and Bleed Within. To make my all time top 10.

[@stevenhobbs3288]

Love Gojira too people don’t realise due to em being so heavy how spiritual and deep they are. I think Joe Duplantier had a profound spiritual awakening to write the lyrics he does

[@xx3floridaxx]

🦋

[@shaunanorth995]

This song is awesome I love it!!!❤❤

[@wolfangel369]

Hell Yeah!!! ❤❤❤

[@cheesecrums1559]

Idk. Hmm I like the song....but it's the way he says "Fly"...idk still love it.

[@nathansimpson5498]

Hell yeah brother !!

[@tututharbun2987]

Love u Scott ❤

[@slowfuse]

time will not resist this fly?

[@carlag7537]

This is such an awesome song! I so much love his solo albums and songs ❤, but also look forward to a new Creed album if it’s in the works. I’m going to a Creed concert next August, but his solo band will always be wonderful and awesome to me! I look forward to seeing them again (hopefully so many times) also🙏🎶

[@centralia83]

I heard it is in the works

[@centralia83]

Apparently they hit the studio and have 8 songs put together. But they have security on all the doors and nobody is allowed in except the band and any of the people involved in the production and recording of the album. They don’t want anyone to hear anything until they’re done. That’s what I read

[@dustinlange9759]

Scott Stapp/Creed moments with the goons!

[@JoaoA.Rodrigues]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ArtGuitars.]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐COOL ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@JohnNelson-tg2ke]

A great song to workout to..tasty guitars also..who wants Scott to play the Superbowl halftime show?.

[@danielgarciaairwavefotogra1174]

Ufff brutal song 🔥🙌 cheers from Guatemala

[@markhenningjr5022]

Liked Creed, but really liking this

[@adelinosilvadelima2092]

Very good, excelent

[@brianbenfield3270]

Looking forward to Creed's reunion tour. Does anyone know how much longer til tickets sell out? I live in Arizona, they're coming in September, I am a Creed fan and I've never seen them live.

[@jacobrodrigues66]

Very good! 👍

[@lucyimhome4997]

Black butterfly is a symbol of one who has overcome a great struggle or tragedy. Also a symbol of a great ancestors watching or overseeing over one's journey. Very symbolic and kinda wild at heart Scott. Great job dude.

[@davehooper5115]

Is voice is just the best...I loved Creed... great to hear after all these years, great song too

[@mattgrundy27]

🤘🔥🤘

[@TheGreat_LordPonch]

How energetic is Scott, I like that.

[@hssvundo972]

hell yeah..!!! amazing thanks Scott regards from Costa Rica..!!! Pura vida..!!

[@greekfreak1980]

Producer: ''Hey Scott, how much autotune do you want?" Scott Stapp: "Yes." EDIT: The Stapp fangirls in the replies, who are in denial about his vocals being processed, are amusing.

[@dereskavich]

All of it. 😂😂😂

[@lorraineiwan]

No auto tune here.

[@brandonfrantz4491]

lol 😂 where is auto tune

[@TheBeastKane]

I find it so funny a guy who comes to hate on someone else talking about fan girls... U basically a fan u come to hate on the guy religiously 😂

[@gabrielleandrogarcia7565]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@thebugman2007]

Stapp is GOAT!

[@eributts]

I didn't like Stapp's voice for a while when I was younger, but this is surprisingly good. I really like this. Thank you for changing my opinion

[@Dude1971Dad]

As hard as it is for me to admit this version of his voice is better than before for me but i think my old prejudice is wtill there because I thought the lyrical content was weak and seemed to have no meaning, kinda like it was written thinking ok what would be a cool next line....empty in my eyes, i think i just dont like this guy.

[@nickmenza2671]

​@Dude1971Dad yeah, you don't understand the words.

[@thrasher122489]

This dude lost his voice and you think he sounds better 😂😂🤣

[@angelfuturejob]

Soon as I saw on google that he released a new song I went straight to KZbin.

[@robyates8438]

Could see this sound amazing live

[@matthughesrocks]

Sounds awesome!

[@user-xk5hx5sh8l]

this is the creed i grew up to this song is great

[@TheBeastKane]

This isn't creed but I get you lol

[@troyanderson305]

MASS share 🤘

[@brianmeuten2759]

Definitely been a while since heard his voice..little of this and most of this and most.of.higher power to me has ozzy vibes

[@leeannj741]

Scott Stapp has always been an amazing singer. When he left Creed, & Alter Bridge formed, it wasn't the same energy. Myles Kennedy is talented, but he stepped into some big shoes.

[@malachithompson8729]

😤

[@ianbraun271]

Wait!!! Scott Stapp... on NAPALM RECORDS!!!

[@JustUsZags509]

NEW ALBUM SOUNDS INCREDIBLE 👏👏👏

[@Linda-md3kl]

Never ever disappoints me. I adore this man ❤. He's fought the ugliest demons and won. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@edguyrocks5865]

Holy Autotune batman

[@Vieda_Boss]

Cocoon down 💯

[@camvant]

I grew up with Creed, fell absolutely in love with Alter Bridge. Ultimately glad to see Mark Tremonti and the rest of the band succeed leaving Scott. Glad to see Scott pull his act together. Must say, the dude CAN sing, the processing effects was a bit too much in this song but the rhythm was superb. I'll admit, if Scott Stapp keeps making more songs like this and Higher Power, I might just actually like him again. Would like to see him yell out more like this in his songs and be less unnecessarily breathy for melodramatic effect.

[@annalewis3356]

Mark is awesome on guitar he is so talented am happy to see Brian Marshal back
