Kevin Abstract, the mastermind behind Brockhampton, is back in the spotlight with the announcement of his upcoming solo album, “Blanket.” This news couldn’t have come at a better time, especially for those who’ve been eagerly awaiting fresh sounds from the musician. The album is set to drop on November 3, courtesy of Video Store and RCA Records.
“Blanket” is the much-anticipated follow-up to Kevin’s 2019 release, “Arizona Baby.” It comes packed with an eclectic mix of tracks, including the titular “Blanket,” which arrived with an intriguing self-directed video last week. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re in for a treat. Kevin Abstract’s creative genius shines through not only in his music but also in his visual storytelling.
The artistic direction of “Blanket” is fascinating. Abstract collaborated with producer Romil Hemnani and multi-instrumentalist Jonah Abraham to craft this masterpiece. In his own words, he aimed to create a record with the vibes of bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Nirvana, and Modest Mouse, all while delivering the punch of a rap album. It’s an ambitious fusion, and fans are undoubtedly excited to see how it all comes together.
It’s worth noting that Kevin Abstract’s journey to “Blanket” was set in motion by Brockhampton’s indefinite hiatus, which began after their Coachella performance and the release of the albums “The Family” and “TM.” “The Family,” though featuring contributions from other Brockhampton members, essentially felt like a Kevin Abstract solo project. On the other hand, “TM” was a more traditional Brockhampton endeavor, showcasing the collective’s rappers, singers, and producers.
In the time since “Arizona Baby,” Kevin Abstract has blessed us with singles like “Slugger” and “Sierra Nights,” giving us a taste of what’s to come. And it’s not just Kevin who’s been busy. Other Brockhampton members have embarked on their solo ventures, with Merlyn Wood dropping an EP titled “Dirty Thunder,” and Dom McLennon sharing the captivating track “Sweep” in September.
As the release date for “Blanket” draws near, it’s clear that Kevin Abstract is gearing up to deliver a unique musical experience that blends genres and pushes boundaries. This album is poised to be a must-listen for fans of his work, and for anyone with an ear for music that defies convention. Mark your calendars for November 3, because “Blanket” is about to drop, and it’s going to be one wild musical ride you won’t want to miss.
