Drugdealer, the Los Angeles-based project led by Michael Collins, has announced a new LP called Hiding in Plain Sight. The follow-up to 2019’s Raw Honey is set to drop on October 28 via Mexican Summer and features collaborations with Kate Bollinger, Sean Nicholas Savage, and Tim Presley. Lead single ‘Someone to Love’ arrives with a music video directed by Collins and James Manson. Check it out below, along with the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.
“‘Someone to Love’ came out of an impromptu extended jam that my band and I developed show by show on the last full US tour,” Collins explained in a statement. “Then when we got home and I started working on this new stuff I realized it was one of the best moments of us naturally playing. I turned it into a fully fleshed out song about wanting to be truly loved unconditionally, and pretty instantly became my favorite thing I had written and pretty much still sits there. The recorded version is really boosted by contributing performances from John Carroll Kirby and Video Age, who help give this track a unique feel. It definitely breaks out of a certain sound or form that I have been using in this project, and went more faithfully into a real soul tribute that I never thought I’d be able to represent as a lead vocalist.”
