AUGUST 08 - Towards The Sun (2022) Hi Res

August 08, the dynamic, genre-bending virtuoso who is blazing a new trail for himself at Def Jam Recordings, releases TOWARDS THE SUN, Part 1 of August 08’s 2-Part debut album project, titled SEASICK. The album features lead singles "500 Days" and “Keep Me Around".

In February, August took over MTV’s Instagram for a live jam session that included “Keep Me Around", which sets the tone for this stunning album. The song, with its diverse, emotional, and powerful sound, “speaks to the willingly complicated dynamic in relationships,” August said. “That beautifully painful confusion. That piece of fear we all have as we dive into trusting someone new, even though we know, with every fiber of our being, that we could be either hurt or fall madly in love. I wanted to express each side and feel every feeling. As I take my steps to grow, this song speaks to the journey to happiness.”
