Oliver Anthony’s New Song “Scornful Woman” Hits Hard — Even Joe Rogan Feels It
A Song That Feels Real
Tune in here-
So, Oliver Anthony just dropped a new track called “Scornful Woman” on June 4th, and honestly, it’s pretty raw. If you’ve followed him since Rich Men North of Richmond, you already know he doesn't sugarcoat things. This song is kind of like a deep emotional letter — it’s all about the heartbreak that comes after a tough breakup or divorce.
The lyrics hit a nerve, especially lines where he talks about giving up money and fame just to get some peace of mind. It’s not just about being sad over a relationship — it’s more about feeling drained, tired, and just wanting a break from all the emotional mess. You can really hear the pain in his voice, and that’s probably why people are connecting to it so fast.
Joe Rogan’s Reaction Says a Lot
Before the song officially came out, Oliver actually shared a small clip of Joe Rogan listening to it on his podcast. And you could tell Joe was feeling it. He even said something like, "In the middle of all this sugar-sweet stuff, there's still all of Anthony," which was a big compliment. It just shows how much this song stands out — it's not overproduced, not trying to be radio-friendly. It's just honest.
That kind of reaction from someone like Rogan? It matters. It means Oliver isn’t just putting out another country track. He’s making music that cuts through the noise and reminds you what real songwriting sounds like.
A Simple Video, But Powerful
The music video for “Scornful Woman” doesn’t have a big flashy setup or fancy effects. It’s just Oliver in a red cabin somewhere in West Virginia with a couple of his dogs and some friends playing instruments. Sounds simple, but that’s the point — it’s very him.
What’s crazy is that they shot the video during a heavy snowstorm and even had to run the shoot using backup generators. But they still pulled it off. That kind of effort says a lot about how serious he is about keeping things real and staying close to his roots.
People Are Listening
Since it dropped, the song’s already gotten hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, and it's been climbing the iTunes charts too — it was already in the top 25 songs in the U.S. within a day. And that’s just from one song about real-life pain. That kind of response isn’t by accident. It’s clear that fans want more of this kind of music — something honest that actually says something.
It also shows that Oliver Anthony isn’t a one-hit wonder. After Hymnal Of A Troubled Man’s Mind and his other singles like Cowboys and Sunsets, he’s proving that he’s here to stay. And he’s sticking to what he does best — telling stories that feel personal and don’t sound like everyone else.
