Kürnner’s new single “Live Fully” arrives like a dusty road opening up after a long storm. Released April 17th, 2026, the track finds the 21-year-old Mooresville, North Carolina rocker leaning hard into his love for 90s grunge and alternative rock, with shades of Pearl Jam, Creed, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Nickelback, and Muse pulsing through the walls. Inspired by his father’s decision to leave home and chase his own path, the song turns history into a broad, heart-on-sleeve anthem about starting over.
And honestly, it lands. For only his second original release after “Win You or Lose You,” Kürnner already sounds like an artist who knows what hill he wants to die on, with big guitars, real emotion, long-burning intros, memorable riffs, and no cheap shortcuts.
Musically, “Live Fully” kicks up grit as reverbed guitars ring out with a wide-open, almost highway-at-sunset feel, while the drums thump steadily beneath them, giving the track a firm heartbeat. The cymbals shimmer and splash around the edges, lifting whenever the song starts reaching for the sky. Then comes Kürnner’s tender, thick voice, full of yearning need. He sings about leaving pain behind, chasing meaning, love, freedom, and that elusive sense of purpose people spend whole lifetimes trying to name.
What makes the track stick is its sincerity. When he sings about climbing mountains, crossing seas, laughing with the rain, and turning loss into gain, he keeps it grounded. So, yeah, “Live Fully” is a fist raised at yesterday, and a brave step into tomorrow.
