Felice Rosser and FaithNYC channel restless young love and desire on ‘Overpass (Nine Mile Version),’ a driving, guitar-led single shaped by movement, memory, and the open road. Drawing on Rosser’s early years around Detroit’s Nine Mile Road – hitchhiking on Woodward Avenue, seeing shows at the Michigan Palace and absorbing the shocks of teenage rebellion and Bowie’s ‘Rebel Rebel’ – the song pairs Motor City grit with an East Village pop-punk edge, as critic Lucy Sante notes.
FaithNYC’s propulsive basslines and pounding riddims give the track its visceral forward momentum. The video, by special effects artist Kevin S., features Lower East Side skyscapes by Tom Jarmusch and Alexis Adler, moody Dubai underpasses, and capsule FaithNYC performances from Lincoln Center’s 2026 Burnt Sugar Smokehouse festival and 11th St. Bar. Manic American highways and spaghetti junctions mirror the track’s urgency.
Arriving as gas prices rise amid tensions with Iran, ‘Overpass (Nine Mile Version)’ lands as a summer anthem with a practical streak, suited to both a late-night drive and a living-room boogie when the road feels just out of reach.
