Dance music powerhouse Martone makes a bold return with his new single “Too Bad, So Sad” (Radio Edit), a fiery collaboration with multi-talented artist Intelligent Diva, available now on all major streaming platforms.

Lifted from Martone’s upcoming album Phoenix Rising: The Emperor’s Ascension, “Too Bad, So Sad” transforms heartbreak into empowerment. Written by both artists, the track captures the emotional aftermath of betrayal while radiating strength, resilience, and self-assurance.

Opening with Martone’s soulful confession of lost trust, the song unfolds into a dialogue between vulnerability and power. Intelligent Diva takes over with a commanding rap verse, delivering sharp, fearless bars that echo the journey from pain to healing.

The release comes at a symbolic moment for Martone, aligning with the finalization of his divorce, a testament to the song’s raw authenticity. Produced by Michael E. Williams II of Platinum Keyz Recordings, with Intelligent Diva’s verse produced by Stone Schaefer, the single blends polished house production with deep emotional resonance. The result is a cathartic release that’s equal parts heartbreak and dancefloor liberation.

Following the success of The Evolution of Martone, his 10th Anniversary album, this new release cements Martone’s standing as one of house music’s most expressive and fearless voices. A long-standing advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, Martone also continues to support causes like LGBT Books to Prisoners, using his art as both self-expression and social impact.

“Too Bad, So Sad” is available now on all streaming platforms.
