Kickin’ off the New Year right, 21-year-old emcee LBO gives us a sneak peak into his upcoming EP collaboration with grammy-awarding producer 88-Keys, title (TBA). “Pickin’ Liquor,” the first installment on the project, features powerful yet tasteful vocals by LBO and Sophia Schoenau. Listen to their anthem about enjoying every minute of your night out with the squad, and giving a big “Fuck You” to everybody that isn’t doing the same.
Although quiet for most of 2015, it seems the NY artist spent his time in New Orleans focusing on his craft, making this EP look more promising with this new drop. Backed by light violin strings that draw you in from the first rift, LBO and Sophia Schoenau compliment each other atop hard-hitting production from 88-Keys.
The track properly closes out with Sophia’s vocals fading out on top of a breakdown of the beat’s drum pattern, leaving the audience wanting more from LBO sooner than later. LBO is expected to drop another new track as indicated on his instagram page.
