Last year, Kevin Abstract made a left turn when he released his latest solo album, Blanket, which pulled from Nirvana, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Modest Mouse. Now, he’s back with another new single, “Tennessee,” which enlists Lil Nas X for a celebration of queer love.
Produced by Abstract and BROCKHAMPTON’s Romil Hemnani, plus additional assistance from Devstacks and Quadeca, the pair originally premiered the song during the second weekend of Coachella. It also marks a total full-circle moment, as both artists have pointed to each other as inspiration in the past and attended the same high school in Georgia for a time before they knew each other.
