GLAIVE CONFIRMS FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM I CARE SO MUCH THAT  I DONT CARE AT ALL  UNVEILS NEW SONG + VIDEO “AS IF”    Press photo, credit: Oliver Seid April 28, 2023—Today, 18-year-old breakout glaive confirms his forthcoming new album i care so much that i dont care at all—pre-save here. The record’s first single, “as if,” is out now with an accompanying video directed by Adrian Villagomez—listen here and watch here.  “We made ‘as if’ in December when we thought the album was already done. For a long time, I had been making music about relationships, but I hadn’t been in a relationship in a year and a half at that point, so I was forced to look more inward,” says glaive. “This was one of the first songs where I guess I ended up talking about myself and the world from my perspective, rather than other people’s. It’s scary to be honest about who I am and for a long time, I was scared to show anyone the song. But now it’s out and the first single from the album <3.” Produced with previous collaborators Jeff Hazin and Ralph Castelli, “as if” follows previous singles “three wheels and it still drives!” and “minnesota is a place that exists,” and is taken from glaive’s forthcoming debut album. The track begins with a sampling of actor Timothée Chalamet performing a monologue from the off-Broadway play Prodigal Son in one of his first acting roles.  The new music follows a monumental 2022 for glaive, which began with a supporting slot on The Kid LAROI’s European tour, followed by an extensive run of headline dates across the U.K. and U.S., including a set at Austin City Limits music festival.  The North Carolina born artist’s three EPs to date—cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven (plus its deluxe edition old dog, new tricks) and then i’ll be happy with ericdoa—have received widespread critical acclaim, landing him at the top of Best Of lists from The New York Times, The FADER and more, resulting in a collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly on “more than life.”  Growing up in the small town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, glaive was first drawn to the sounds of radio-friendly pop songs he’d listen to in the car with his mom. His listening soon pulled him into the nascent world of SoundCloud rap and the dejected, genre-mashing songs of Lil Peep. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he spent a month indoors, in his room with black-out curtains. It was out of this period that his first songs came to be. He collaborated with friends he met online, forming musical collectives and experimenting with production. His subsequent rise was meteoric, powered by a steady stream of new music that quickly earned him acclaim and a devoted following. More music from glaive is imminent.   Single artwork
