Sick will release on January 14th.
Earl Sweatshirt has outlined his plans for the release of a new 10-song album.
Sick will arrive on January 14th via Tan Cressida and follows the Los Angeles MC’s recent single ‘2010’. Leading his new project’s announcement today Earl Sweatshirt shares the Armand Hammer-featuring ‘Tabula Rasa’. His latest full-length album Some Rap Songs released in 2018 to widespread critical acclaim.
Discussing his new project Earl shared the following statement
“Sick is my humble offering of 10 songs recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. Before the virus I had been working on an album I named after a book I used to read with my mother (The People Could Fly). Once the lockdowns hit, people couldn’t fly anymore. A wise man said art imitates life. People were sick. The People were angry and isolated and restless. I leaned into the chaos cause it was apparent that it wasn’t going anywhere. These songs are what happened when I would come up for air. Peace and love to Zelooperz the enigma, the Armand Hammer, and my good friends Alchemist and Black Noi$e. Peace and love to u.”
Hear the languid and soulful ‘Tabula Rasa’ in advance below.
Sick releases on January 14th via Tan Cressida and Warner Records.
