Open Mike Eagle has announced that his new album will be titled What Happens When I Try to Relax. To go with the news, he’s sharing the first single “Relatable (peak OME),” which is produced by Nedarb Nagrom.
“It’s too complicated for a quick explanation. It’s about a lot of things,” Mike said about the track. “It’s about expectations of form, anxiety, middle age and middle class. And that’s just the parts I know how to put into words a couple months after writing it.”
