NEW MUSIC: SAWEETIE | CLOSER (FEAT. H.E.R)

Saweetie has shared a new single that’s set to appear on her forthcoming debut album "Pretty Bitch Music." The new track titled “Closer,” via Icy and Warner Records, features R&B singer H.E.R and a new music video for the track is forthcoming. Since announcing the effort back in 2020, the West Coast native has shared some of its tracks, including “Tap In,” “Back to the Streets” with Jhené Aiko, “Fast (Motion),” and “Best Friend” featuring Doja Cat; the latter of which earned her nod for Best Rap Song at the upcoming Grammy Awards, where she’s also vying for Best New Artist. “I think everything is falling into place as it should be,” Saweetie told Billboard after the Grammy nominations were announced. “I think we’ve been working really hard. [2021] is the year I think I’ve worked the hardest and not just out of my career but in my years of being on the Earth. So to be acknowledged is very gratifying after a year of hard work.” Saweetie closed out 2021 with a performance on "Saturday Night Live." She did “Tap In,” “Best Friend,” and her newest single at that point, Dr. Luke–produced song “Icy Chain.” Also, in 2021, Saweetie released “Fast (Motion),” the "Insecure" soundtrack offering “Get It Girl,” and her Drakeo the Ruler collaboration “Risky.” In addition, H.E.R. released her new album "Back of My Mind" and went on to have a massive year in 2021. She won an Oscar, won the Grammy for Song of the Year, paid tribute to Tina Turner at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
