Acclaimed R&B sensation Pink Sweat$ has unveiled part one to his eagerly awaited Atlantic Records debut. THE PRELUDE arrives today at all DSPs and streaming services, listen now HERE.
THE PRELUDE is heralded by today’s premiere of a vibrant, dance worthy companion video for “Icy,” streaming now at the official Pink Sweat$ YouTube channel HERE.
As its title suggests, THE PRELUDE precedes Pink Sweat$’s eagerly anticipated debut album, PINK PLANET. Released now to mark the world-changing events of recent months, THE PRELUDE showcases select tracks from the upcoming collection, including the powerful “Not Alright,” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Released last month alongside a carefully crafted open letter from Pink Sweat$ posted on his popular Instagram, the track was met by critical praise from the likes of HYPEBEAST, which wrote, “The pop-friendly cut features darker lyricism from the singer-songwriter as he touches on life as a Black person in America. With a distressing chorus that sings, ‘I’m not alright/Fighting a war that I’m gon lose/I’m not alright/I can’t do what they say I’m supposed to/I’m not alright’ and a painful verse like ‘I ain’t got no home/I’ve been roaming on this earth forever/Please don’t beat my soul/Cuz that’s the only thing I treasure,’ he gracefully narrates the terrifying environment Black people are born into.”
