Returning to our shores this July for an appearance at Splendour In The Grass and a series of headline dates, LA-based producer RL Grime returns with his first solo production in a year. First sharing news of the single via his fan newsletter (sign-up here), the producer took to Reddit's r/Trap late yesterday to reveal the free download. The first taste of new music comes ahead of his biggest Australian & NZ tour to date, with Sydney's Hordern Pavilion shy 500 tickets from selling out, RL Grime will hit Auckland, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide, marking his first headline tour of the region since April 2015.
A stark turn for the producer, -Reims' is a cinematic and beautiful offering, sharing the following with his fans: "As u may or may not know, for the better part of the last 2 years i've been quietly working away on my second album. can't explain how excited i am to begin sharing what i've been working on. as a thank u for the support over the last few years, wanted to send u a free download of my new song 'reims". lots of exciting things coming this year - here's to the next chapter."
With his groundbreaking debut album Voids, released in 2014 to rave reviews around the world, RL Grime has accumulated over 100 million plays on his tracks, with over 9 million alone on his 2014 massive What So Not collaboration -Tell Me.' Celebrated as 'an unparalleled force," the producer's live show has graced the biggest festival stages in the world, including Coachella - LA, Lollapalooza - Buenos Aires and STORM - Shanghai. At just 25 years old, RL Grime continues to conquer the electronic space with each release, a testament to his unique identity and sound.
