At the end of 2022, William Sherak, producer of Scream VI, reached out to Mike and asked if he would be interested in producing any music for the movie, bringing up Demi Lovato as another artist they were reaching out to. Coincidentally, Mike already had plans to work on a song with Demi, which led to Mike producing two songs on the soundtrack: “In My Head” and “Still Alive.

Mike Shinoda has unveiled a new version of his 2018 solo album Post Traumatic. Originally released five years ago on June 15 – and written after the tragic loss of his bandmate Chester Bennington in 2017 – the Linkin Park man is celebrating the anniversary of his excellent debut solo LP with a remastered version, along with a video for Hold It Together.
“It’s been 5 years since the release of Post Traumatic,” he says. “This album was one of the toughest and most cathartic and rewarding projects I’ve undertaken.
“In celebration, I will be releasing a new remastered version of the album on all streaming platforms (out tonight). We also made a video for Hold It Together, (out tomorrow) which was the only track from the album that didn’t get a visual.
“I am so grateful to have been able to share these songs and perform them for you. Thank you, as always, for your support.”
Upon Post Traumatic’s original release in 2018, we said in our review that it was “more than an album for Chester. It’s Mike showing off his superb songwriting talents, taking what he’d started with his alternative side-project Fort Minor into new territories. Given the turmoil this record was created in, that’s an impressive feat.

The 2017 passing of LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington had an understandably profound effect on the band’s cofounder, Mike Shinoda. Part mourning, part venting, his solo debut, Post Traumatic is a raw representation of loss and helplessness, recorded in the moment. “I can hear in the tone of my voice,” Shinoda told Beats 1 anchor Zane Lowe. “I knew where I was on that day.” The songs on the album reflect many moods—from tender (“Place to Start,” “Brooding”) to aggressive (“Lift Off,” “I.O.U.”)—all armed with Shinoda’s usual hybrid of hip-hop, electronic, and rock. There’s no censor here, especially on “Over Again,” when Shinoda tackles the stresses of Bennington’s tribute concert, even confronting well-wishers asking what he’s going to do next: “You think it’ll be a challenge?/Only my life’s work hanging in the f**king balance,” he shoots back.
