Lil Dicky ska släppa nytt album – blir ett soundtrack till Tv-serien “Dave”

Efter tre hyllade säsonger med Tv-serien “Dave” ska rapparen och skådespelaren Lil Dicky, vars riktiga namn är Dave Burd, släppa ett nytt album. Skivan blir i formen av ett soundtrack till Tv-serien och ska få titeln “Dave”. Det nya albumet blir det första på hela åtta års tid för Lil Dicky, som släppte skivan “Professional Rapper” under 2015. I en ny intervju med Variety säger han att musiken funnits där hela tiden under framgångarna med serien:

“I’ve been making music ever since then. I realized this year, as I took a step back and looked at all the different music that’s made it into the first three seasons of the show, there’s enough here, a great body of work and a project that I can put out as a soundtrack. I think this is such a better representation of Lil Dicky the musical artist than, honestly, my first album even was. People are always like, ‘when can I get that song?’ I think this will be a cool thing for fans who have watched the show. And for people who have never even seen the show, I think they’ll enjoy listening to this as like a body of music.”

Han berättar vidare att det ofta hörs snuttar av inspelade låtar i Tv-serien som aldrig släppts tidigare -något som nu blir verklighet med ett album i soundtrack-format.

“Sometimes you’ll hear 20 seconds of it, but I might have a full three minute version of that song that’s unreleased. I want to get that out to the world. It’s a really strong body of work that I’m super proud of. I was surprised when I took a step back and looked at the inventory of stuff that have made it into the show — ‘Oh, my God, there’s like a great album here of work that can live on its own.’ So that’s what I’m working on now.”

Det nya albumet ska släppas i slutet av sommaren 2023, skriver Variety.
