Viral TikTok Musician Lubalin Drops "long txts" Single

Canadian musician and singer-songwriter-producer Lubalin has debuted his new single "long txts" available on all digital streaming platforms now via Cult Nation/The Orchard. Listen to the genre-bending hip-hop track - written and produced by the self-taught Montreal-based creator and artist - who writes, composes, produces, and records all of his own music after the jump.

At the close of 2020, Lubalin skyrocketed to viral TikTok fame overnight thanks to his two original "Internet Drama" videos that have amassed 53 million views, 12.8 million likes, and gained him 1.8 million followers on the platform in only a matter of weeks.

On the release of his new single, "long txts," Lubalin shares, "Sometimes we try to simplify complicated things, and in the end, it only makes them more complicated. The song starts out clean and tidy, reflecting this desire to keep everything simple. But it won't hold for long. By the time we reach the chorus, the song is erupting. The chorus is so eager to explode that it comes in a whole measure early."

Lubalin goes on, "Because of the lyric: 'sending long txts, getting long txts back,' you might think I wrote this song after the viral success of my recent TikToks. But actually, that lyric came to me over a year ago (pre-COVID). I'm on a greyhound bus, traveling from the city I was born in, back to the city I live in. Across the aisle, I can see the glow of another passenger's screen. I can't tell what they're writing, but I can see that they're sending long txts and getting long txts back. I just thought, 'that's a vibe.'
