the baltimore-born performer just dropped, "hand on me," their (they use they/them pronouns) first new single since releasing the 2023 album [i]erotic probiotic 2[i/], which was my favorite album of the year. there was a good amount of discussion about the last album on the r&b 2023 thread and in the year-end polls. i described them as "arthur russell does freestyle" and while that's reductive, i thought it was a good summation of their vibe.
