I always felt that Glass Animals’ slow vaporous textures were totally suitable for a rap track (and R&B as they’ve proved) and now it’s come to pass.
Glass Animals and Joey Bada$$ have collaborated on a track called ‘Lose Control’. The track is released today as part of Glass Animals’ Fresh Fruit series and was made on day off in a studion in Brooklyn, New York over the course of 12 hours in August after the two acts heard they had mutual respect for each other.
They also made a Spotify playlist together.
