Summary

  • Dominic Fike has given us the first glimpse into his next LP, Rocket
  • After first premiering the track on Instagram, Fike has shared “All Hands on Deck,” along with other singles lifted from the tracklist “Aftermath” and “Smile”
  • Slated to drop on streaming services on August 22, the mixtape marks Fike’s first long-form release since the 14 minutes EP

Ever since his Lollapalooza set, Dominic Fike has been locked in on album mode. His set at the storied Chicago music festival made headlines, with Fike bringing out his son to the stage for a few songs. This was followed up this week by the unofficial release of “All Hands on Deck,” accompanied by a music video that compiles footage of the musician and his son from the Lolla set. Just yesterday, Fike officially kick-started his next rollout when he shared the link to his reimagined website, rebranded through the lens of his new project – confirmed to be called Rocket.
