In April 2019,
Brockhampton
frontman
Kevin Abstract
slowly unveiled an album in pieces, culminating in its final form,
Arizona Baby
. Produced primarily by
Jack Antonoff
with additional work by
mate
Romil Hemnani
, the album showcased
Abstract
's ability to slide from genre to genre: in addition to thriving in smooth R&B soundscapes that would fit nicely alongside
Frank Ocean
and
Anderson .Paak
, he also delved deep into conscious hip-hop territory with introspective pieces that focused on religion, his sexuality, and family. Highlights include the energetic "Joyride," the thoughtful Ghettobaby song trio ("Corpus Christi," "Baby Boy," and "Mississippi"), and "Peach," which featured vocals by
Dominic Fike
crew members
Joba
Bearface
. Upon release, the album debuted just outside the Top 50 of the Billboard 200. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
