Lil Nas X Unleashes Dope New Song Preview

Don’t be mistaken. Lil Nas X might rap in his songs but he’s really a full-blown pop star, admitting it in his latest preview.

Following the tremendous breakout success of his tracks “Old Town Road” and “Panini”, which netted him a Cardi B feature on his first-ever project, Lil Nas X is getting ready to release his debut full-length album. He has managed to remain in the public eye throughout his musical absence, continually teasing some new music to keep his fans looking to the future.

It looks like we’re finally going to be getting some of those songs in our libraries soon because last night, he dropped a brand new song preview with a dance and everything, linking up with his go-to producers Take A Daytrip for some fun.

“Need a couple number ones, need a plaque on every song, need me like one with Nicki now,” sings Lil Nas X in the new preview, citing his high ambitions. “Tell a rap n***a I don’t see ya, I’m a pop n***a like Bieber, I don’t f*ck b*tches, I’m queer,” he continues.

The snippet goes hard, as evidenced by all of the positive replies on social media. People are excited about LNX’s return to music and, from the sounds of it, everyone is feeling the LGBTQIA+-friendly lyric. That’s always nice to see.

Later on, Nas X addresses the people who say he’s fallen off, warning them: “I just ain’t released my new sh*t.”

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
