Mika's Laundry is the debut studio album of rapper and former Brockhampton member Matt Champion, set for release on March 22, 2024, by RCA Records. The album was preceded by three singles, all with music videos directed by Anna Pollack. It features contributions from Henry Kwapis, Dijon, Jennie, and multiple of Champion's former bandmates.
Background and release
Champion is the second former member of Brockhampton to release a solo album since the group's breakup in 2022, following Kevin Abstract's 2023 album Blanket.[1]
Champion released the album's first single, "Aphid", on February 15, 2024.[2] The single features vocals by Dijon.[2] Clash's Robin Murray said "the touching songwriting brims with promise, Matt Champion illuminating each finer detail in the process."[2] The song came with a music video directed by Anna Pollack.[3] Second single "Slug" followed on February 28, co-produced by Champion and Henry Kwapis.[4][5] "Slug" expands on the sound of "Aphid", "channeling gooey, nostalgia-inducing funk and soul."[5] "Slug" came with a music video directed by Pollack in which Champion, covered in slime, dances and crawls around in a plastic bubble in the woods.[5][6]
The album was announced on March 8, with its release set for March 22 by RCA Records.[7] With the announcement came the third single, "Slow Motion", featuring Jennie from the K-pop group Blackpink.[7][1] Stereogum's Tom Breihan called the song a "starry-eyed love song" which "starts off as a soft, Billie Eilish-style piano ballad, but then a jungle breakbeat kicks in so suddenly that I thought I had music playing in a different open tab."[1] The song came with another video directed by Pollack.[7]
Champion described the album as existing in "a remote, but technologically sound community of cement-walled facilities, open plains, and greenhouse-like domes, at the centre of which lies the album's namesake club, Mika's Laundry."[7]
