Scared Of Heights
Wyatt Flores
Wyatt Flores’s Scared of Heights is the Oklahoma singer-songwriter’s 2026 sophomore album and first project for Island Records/MCA. Across 13 songs, it extends his Red Dirt and neo-traditional country roots with more polished, contemporary production from Charlie Handsome, Jacob “JKash” Hindlin, and Gian Stone. Flores’s plainspoken voice and emotionally exposed writing remain central, but the album broadens the palette around them, pairing country instrumentation and road-song momentum with a more expansive pop-rock sheen.
The album uses its title as a metaphor for the unease that comes with growth, success, vulnerability, and leaving familiar ground. Songs such as “Hate Myself,” “Sober for a Month,” “Not Good Enough,” “How to Let Me Go,” and “Half the Man” confront self-doubt, sobriety, heartbreak, and the feeling of falling short; “Drive All Night,” “Runnin’ on E,” and “South Dakota” turn restlessness and travel into emotional escape routes. The title track addresses fear directly, while the closing “Tulsa and Eleanor” gives the record a more rooted, narrative finish. Overall, Scared of Heights is a candid, restless country record that keeps Flores’s introspective Red Dirt identity intact while testing how far his songwriting can reach beyond it.
