The track comes off of Daye’s sophomore album Candydrip, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums Chart and #10 on the Billboard Current R&B Albums Chart and explores Daye’s redefinition of modern R&B through a futuristic, Sci-Fi world, shaped by the inspiration of Afrofuturism.
Daye is currently finishing up his expansive sold-out North American Candydrip tour that spanned 25+ cities. The tour will wrap on April 25th in Charlotte, NC.
In addition to all of his success with Candydrip, Daye also performed his single “Over” on an episode of Verzuz as a guest of Musiq Soulchild and was featured on Syd’s recent track “CYBAH.”
