Kevin Abstract returns with ominous rock song ‘Blanket’
nme.comKevin Abstract has dropped his new rock-inspired track ‘Blanket’ along with a dystopian music video.The song is his first solo single since his 2019 album ‘Arizona Baby’ and sees the Texan do a complete 180 away from the rap music he is known for.
On Wednesday (October 4), the 27-year-old dropped the music video for the sinister track, which Abstract co-directed with Cole Bat.The video follows Abstract, his imaginary friends (who are furry human-size characters) and a creepy-looking doll they all treat like a baby.
