In April, digital pop producer George Clanton launched “I Been Young,” his first monitor since 2021’s “Fucking Up My Life.” Today, Clanton has introduced a brand new album, Ooh Rap I Ya, coming July 28 and that includes visitor spots from Hatchie and Neggy Gemmy. He’s additionally sharing a single from the file referred to as “Justify Your Life.”
“Following my trajectory established with my previous single ‘I Been Young,’ it’s a conscious attempt at making Grown Up Music about self-realization,” Clanton reveals to Stereogum of the monitor in an electronic mail.
He provides:
Softer than my earlier efforts, however with an anthemic refrain. I really feel like Liam Gallagher with this tune, however nobody I share it with will get “oasis” so I suppose I don’t perceive the way it comes throughout. I feel it’s attention-grabbing to notice that whereas the takeaway of my final tune (and sure this one…) is that I’m doing a little type of 90s pastiche, that was not the intention in any respect. I really feel like I’m simply persevering with the model and ideas I developed on my final full-length “Slide.” and naturally I do like 90s music lots. It is simply taking place on accident.
The crux of the brand new tune is “sometimes you’ve got to take your leave and start all over… justify your life.”
