Albert Hammond Jr by Scottie Cameron
It’ll be released by Albert Hammond Jr on June 23rd.
Albert Hammond Jr has announced his new solo album Melodies On Hiatus.
The Strokes guitarist has invited GoldLink on to the lead single 100-99, highlighting its debt to 90’s hip-hop in the process.
“I grew up listening to 90s hip-hop, and I would always gravitate towards the melodic hooks in the songs I heard on the radio, specifically anything Dr. Dre was producing or rapping on,” he’s said.
Years later, I noticed myself pulling from the style of those melodic lines in my guitar work, even though it wasn’t obvious to anyone else as I was so directly associated with being in a rock band. ‘100-99’ was something I’ve wanted to do for some time—work with a rapper over a beat and guitar part I wrote—and it’s really exciting that I was able to do it with GoldLink.
