RELEASES
Don Toliver has announced that he will release new album ‘Love Sick’ this Friday. Out now is new single ‘Leave The Club’, featuring Lil Durk and Glorilla.
Let’s Eat Grandma’s Rosa Walton has released solo single ‘Turning Up The Flowers’, which features in new video game ‘Honkai Impact 3rd’. It’s a song “about the world feeling very bright and alive, and the people you love being grounding through this, but also uplifting them to be able to see it”, she says. “It draws parallels between nature, light and connection between people, with the idea that they are all so intertwined and at the core almost all the same thing. It’s about both looking at nature and feeling close to someone you love, and nature looking more beautiful because of them”.
