Kevin Abstract and Lil Nas X team up for sultry new single ‘Tennessee’
Kevin Abstract and Lil Nas X have teamed up for their sultry new collaboration ‘Tennessee’ – listen to it down below.
The former Brockhampton member has released his song featuring Lil Nas X after the pair previously teased the collaborating at Abstract’s Coachella set.
In the song, the pair rap about a lover who they met in Tennessee: “Meet him out in Tennessee / He don’t know his ancestry / Which is kinda hot to me / He loves me for me, me, for me, all of me”.
According to Consequence, Abstract said of Lil Nas X at Coachella that he was “very lucky to know him and to be existing at the same time as him.” The duo also previously attended the same high school in Georgia, though they didn’t know each other at the time.
Take a listen to ‘Tennessee’ below:
Kevin Abstract’s Coachella set also saw a surprise appearance from Sky Ferreira, who covered Lady A’s ‘Need You Now’ whilst opening for him. Her cover was later revealed to be produced by Quadeca, who joined Abstract later on stage along with Dominic Fike.
The musician last released music in November last year, where NME rated ‘Blanket‘ three stars: ‘Blanket’ feels like another piece of the grand puzzle that is Kevin Abstract, and though it might not be his strongest material – heartfelt, for sure – he remains an alluring figure, a lightning rod for ideas. He is, reliably, never dull.”
