Ghostluvme Drops New Track “Hydro”
Hailing from Broward County, Florida, fast-rising rapper Ghostluvme only debuted on the music scene in 2020 but has already achieved so much success early on. Having worked with renowned hitmakers such as Scott Storch (Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug), Zaytoven (Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage) and TRGC (Yeat’s “Monëy so big”), he has quickly racked up over 50 million streams across all platforms (including 30 million on Spotify) as an independent artist, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
Fresh on the heels of his recent project, Mixtape, he has returned with his brand-new single, “Hydro”, produced by multi-platinum producer Brandon Finessin. Speaking further on the new release, Ghostluvme says, “This is the first track I’m dropping produced by famed producer Brandon Finessin. It came out of one amazing session, and I’ve always wanted it to be the first single off my next project. It’s inspired by the pirates and the sailors (One Piece anime).”
“Hydro” is yet another impressive entry into Ghostluvme’s growing discography, and he continues to show he is one of hip-hop’s great new talents with a huge future ahead. With upcoming collabs lined up with megastars such as Future, Trippie Redd and Lil Uzi Vert, Ghostluvme will be one to watch over the coming months. “Hydro” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ghostluvme1.lnk.to/hydro.
Keep up to date with the latest from Ghostluvme:
Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
