The pre-release for my forthcoming record “Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks” went live yesterday on 10/16. We also released the audio for the title track and made it available (alongside the 1st single “Do You Want Me Or Not?”) for those who partake in the pre-order, with the rest of the songs delivering on 12/4 (wide release day). I worked with a Producer named Spencer Lee Carroll for this track (as well as tracks 7 and 9 on the album) and it’s my first fore into hardcore banger pop. Have a listen below or by clicking HERE.
