Rex Orange County is dropping another taster of his new album very soon indeed.
Titled ‘AMAZING’, the second track to arrive from forthcoming full-length ‘WHAT’S UP?’ will be with us on Valentines Day, Monday 14th February.
It’ll come with a video too, which will premiere at 4pm GMT, 11am EST, 8am PST.
The song follows up on the previously debuted ‘KEEP IT UP’, which arrived last month.
‘WHAT’S UP?’ is the first new release since 2020’s Live at Radio City Music Hall EP taken from Rex’s two sold-out shows at the venue in 2020, just before his international Pony tour was cut short in Berlin due to Covid-19. After spending the bulk of 2020 quarantined back home in the UK, Rex made the trek to Amsterdam that autumn to record with Benny Sings, with whom he made 2017’s ‘Loving Is Easy’.
A productive 48-hour session prompted a follow-up trip, with the subsequent 10 days of work producing the new album. The record also features Tyler, The Creator, who contributes a verse to ‘OPEN A WINDOW’ – the first time the two have collaborated since Tyler’s 2017 album ‘Flower Boy’.
Rex Orange County is also going to play a huge London show later this year as part of a short UK and Ireland run.
The show will take place at Gunnersbury Park on 13th August, coming after shows in manchester, Dublin and Glasgow.
The dates read:
JULY
07 Manchester, Castlefield Bowl
15 Dublin, Iveagh Gardens
AUGUST
02 Glasgow, SWG3 Galvanizers Yard
13 London, Gunnersbury Park
