Kevin Abstract Announces First Solo Album Since Brockhampton’s Hiatus
He released the rock-heavy titular single last week.
Kevin Abstract will be putting out his first full-length solo project since Brockhampton went on hiatus last year. The musical collective went out with a bang with the back-to-back albums The Family and TM.
Last week, Abstract returned with the single “Blanket.” He’s now revealed that the track is actually the lead single for his forthcoming studio album
The Blanket LP will mark the artist’s third full-length, following his 2016 debut, American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story, and 2019’s Arizona Baby. Compared to his sound in past musical projects, Blanket will see Abstract embrace his rock influences. For the album, he worked closely with fellow Brockhampton producer Romil Hemnani, as well as instrumentalist Jonah Abraham.
“I wanted to make, like, a Sunny Day Real Estate, Nirvana, Modest Mouse type of record,” he said “But I wanted it to hit like a rap album.”
In tandem with announcing the LP, Abstract also teased that he’ll soon be coming out with a new single called “GUM.” Blanket is out in full on November 3.
In other music news, Kali Uchis announced her forthcoming album, Orquídeas.
