Sydney-based guitar-pop duo Royel Otis, consisting of Royel Maddell (guitar/vocals) and Otis Pavlovic (guitar/vocals), dropped a new music video for “more to lose” (2025 wrap) on December 27, 2025.
The video features footage from their 2025 tour, filmed by Jamieson Kerr and edited by Gina Wagstaffe and Simone Taylor.
The song is featured on their sophomore album “hickey”, which was released back in August via Ourness and Capitol Records.
The album follows the 2024 album “Pratts & Pain” and reached No. 14 on the UK Albums Chart. The duo said of the album title, “Because love bites harder than any other emotion in the world.”
The track was written by Omer Fedi, Julian Bunetta, Otis Pavlovic, and Royel Maddell. Produced by Julian Bunetta and Omer Fedi.
The duo said, “This year has been a whirlwind, we can't thank you guys enough for showing up and showing your support.”- Otis Pavlovic told Apple Music about the song, “We've attempted to put melodies over that piano line since the start of the band.”
Royel Maddell added, “Five years! We did it with Julian Bunetta and Omer. We were in Julian's place in Calabasas, having fun making cocktails, and I just started playing it on the piano. Every time I sit at a piano I play it and just pray someone comes up with something. And that's what happened.” - source : Apple Music
