Earl Sweatshirt

"Burgundy" (ft. Pharrell)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Aug 9, 2013

Earl Sweatshirt's much-anticipated debut full-length is getting another pre-release boost via a stream of the Pharrell Williams-produced "Burgundy."

Atop a bombastic beat full of dramatic brass bursts and satin-laced piano lines, Earl delivers some disheartening lines, touching on everything from the pressure of prepping his debut, to focusing on work instead of his dying grandma, to whether or not he'll rise above the hype post-Doris ("Don't tell me that I've made it / Only relatively famous").

You can hear the introspective single down below.

Doris arrives August 20 via Tan Cressida/Columbia.
