Brockhampton, the self-proclaimed “America’s Favorite Boy Band,” has been putting in work over the last two years, sharing their Saturation trilogy in 2017 and making their major label debut with Iridescence in 2018. This week, the San Marcos group adds to their discography with Ginger—a 12-track project that promises to deliver positive vibes.
“We want to make a summer album. Feel-good. Not too sad and like, ‘Oh, our life sucks,’ just more like, ‘Just enjoy what's in front of you,’” member Kevin Abstract told GQ earlier this year. “Something we're doing is putting those type of lyrics—like this shit is trash, anxiety, depression, all that stuff—taking those type of lyrics and putting it on a song that a bunch of people could dance to or something. It's just like (OutKast’s) ‘Hey Ya!’ My favorite song ever. It's basically that.”
Ginger will include the previously released tracks "I Been Born Again,""If You Pray Right,""Boy Bye," and "No Halo," as well as production by Abstract, Romil Hemnani, and Jabari Manwarring.
Ginger is available to stream now on Apple Music and Spotify.
In conjunction with the release, Brockhampton is performing the entire album tonight in Los Angeles. You can livestream the event, dubbed “Friday Therapy” via YouTube below.
