She also announced the album's tracklist, cover art, and release date on the same date.[5] On May 20, 2023, she released the album's third single, "Body" featuring Christine And The Queens.[6]

Danielle Balbuena[2] (born June 13, 1997),[3] better known by her stage name 070 Shake (pronounced "oh seven oh shake"),[4] is an American rapper and singer. She is best known for her guest appearance on Raye's 2022 single "Escapism," which reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one in the United Kingdom.
Michael Saponara praised the two tracks as "standout cuts" on the album,[18] and ranked "Ghost Town" specifically as the album's best song.[19] HotNewHipHop praised Shake's performance on "Ghost Town" as the highlight of the song, and called the track the climax of the album.[20] Shake told Pigeons & Planes that "Ghost Town" was nearly left off Ye, as the track was finished on the same day of the album's release.[21] "Ghost Town" also featured vocals from Kid Cudi, another inspiration of Shake's; she shared with Pigeons & Planes, "All my life I grew up listening to Kanye West and Kid Cudi. I've cried to their music. They've definitely changed my life, and saved me from a lot of stuff."[21] Shake's recording experience with West in Wyoming for his album Ye impacted her thoughts about Yellow Girl; she stated "I don't know if it's going to be called Yellow Girl. I know the songs are definitely changing. The experience I had in Wyoming makes me want to make music on a different level."[21] In 2019, she featured on DJ Khaled's album Father of Asahd alongside Buju Banton, Sizzla and Mavado on the song "Holy Mountain".
Shake released her debut album, Modus Vivendi, on January 17, 2020.[22] Her second studio album, You Can't Kill Me[23][24] was released in June 2022. Its first single, "Lose My Cool" featuring NLE Choppa, was released on December 3, 2021.[25][26]

So, Billboard decided to go a bit deeper with 070 Shake as well. Below, the R&B star talks about what went into the making of her brand new album, the importance of evolution, and why getting fired from a job helped her find her place in the music business.
This genius, matchless take on the genre of hip-hop may point towards producers Johan Lenox and Mike Dean, both of which have respected ears in the genre of hip-hop. Yet the album is still made great by the rapping and writing of 070 Shake.
The offbeat artist is aurally infatuated by cinematic and visual narratives, embedding into her music the tantalizing drama, mystery, and suspense that would be at home in a sci-fi film or bewitching gothic painting. "Films and foreign art are a big part of my music process," Shake says. "Artists like David Lynch and Francis Bacon have inspired me a lot for this album."
I have always cared so much about visual art. You can see that through my album covers and music videos. I worked with an Italian painter to create the vision behind this album cover. One of the inspirations behind this album was definitely Francis Bacon. His art and personal experiences that I've had in relationships I would say help me create visual impact.
My artistry reflects my growth, for sure. I am just being myself and the audience is watching me grow. Not that any album is better than the other, it's just a different version of myself. You could like me at my lowest but I'm going to continue to grow and it's not going to be better or worse, it's just growth.
Since the 2018 GRAMMY-nominated album solidified Scott as part of rap's A-list, he's endured the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Amid working on the album (which he began teasing in 2020), his 2021 iteration of Astroworld Festival resulted in a crowd crush that killed 10.
Writing through the pain can serve many benefits for an artist. Marvin Gaye used Here, My Dear as a way to find closure in the aftermath of his divorce. Adele told Vogue that her recording process gave her somewhere to feel safe while recording 30, a raw account of the aftermath of her marriage ending. And Kelly Clarkson's new album, chemistry, finds her reclaiming herself, while fully taking stock of everything that happened in her marriage, good and bad.
As fans dive into chemistry, GRAMMY.com has compiled a list of 10 divorce albums from all walks of music. Whether you need to cry, vent, or maybe even laugh, there's a divorce album that has what you need.
During her life, Tammy Wynette was a prolific country songwriter and singer, releasing numerous albums exploring all aspects of love. She was also deeply familiar with divorce, with five marriages throughout her adulthood.
The most intimate album on the topic is her bluntly titled 1968 project D-I-V-O-R-C-E, which explores how sensitive the topic was to speak about. The title track is a mournful tune about hiding a separation from her children, but also conveys the general difficulty of discussing the topic with anyone. Elsewhere on the album, "Kiss Away" is a longing ballad about wishing for a more tender resolution when words have failed.
The spectrum of emotions and sounds on the album is wide. "The Chain" is all fire and bombast, while the laidback acceptance of "Dreams" seeks to find peace in the storm. Fleetwood Mac sorted out their issues and are still going strong to this day, but their heartbreak created something special in Rumours.
It's a deeply insular album, even by Beck's standards. Tracks like "Already Dead" are slow and mournful, while standout "It's All In Your Mind" finds him burrowing deep into his own thoughts to parse out how exactly he's feeling with his new life.
Divorce isn't a topic that immediately brings laughter, but rapper Open Mike Eagle seemed to find humor in his personal story with his album Anime, Trauma, and Divorce. The album title gives a pretty good rundown of what inspired the project, and Mike's laidback rapping sells how silly the aftermath of pain can be.
808s & Heartbreak is minimalistic, dark, and brooding, with a focus on somber strings and 808 drum loops (hence the album's title). West delivers most of his lyrics in a monotone drone through a thick layer of autotune, a stylistic choice that heightens the sense of loss. Besides being a testament to West's pain, the electronic sound pioneered on 808s & Heartbreak would serve as a foundational inspiration for the next several years of hip-hop.
Toni Braxton and Babyface are two stalwarts of R&B in their own rights, and in 2014, the pair connected over their shared experiences going through divorce. Their bond sparked Love, Marriage, & Divorce, a GRAMMY-winning album that intended to capture the more universal feelings the life of a relationship conjures up.
Like every album on this list, there's plenty of sorrow on the record, but what really sets it apart is just how honestly Adele grapples with the guilt of putting her son Angelo through turmoil as well. The album's GRAMMY-winning lead single "Easy On Me" addresses it in relation to her son, and standout track "I Drink Wine" is a full examination of the messy feelings she went through during her divorce.
Kelly Clarkson's tenth album chemistry was born out of her 2020 divorce. In true Kelly fashion, she addresses the subject with thoughtful songwriting and a pop-rock vibe fans have adored for 20 years on.
