Christian Lee Hutson has announced Paradise Pop. 10, his new album, arriving September 27 on ANTI- Records. Alongside the announcement, he's also shared lead single "After Hours."
The shimmery "After Hours" features synths from Shahzad Ismaily and comes attached to a video by Meg Ha. Paradise Pop. 10 was co-produced with Phoebe Bridgers, plus fellow longtime collaborators Marshall Vore and Joseph Lorge. The album also features guest vocals from Bridgers, Katy Kirby and Maya Hawke, whose Chaos Angel was produced by Hutson.
"I wanted to make an eyes up record. A looking forward record," Hutson said in a statement, explaining that the album was inspired by his relocation to New York.
He continued:
Sometimes when you live somewhere for a really long time, the place starts to feel like a memory graveyard. Every corner becomes kind of haunted in a way, kind of dragging you out of the present. That's what L.A. became like for me. Spending so much time revisiting all these emotional landmarks ended up giving me the feeling that I was missing my life. Like it was passing me while I was looking the other way… It felt really connected to the city. I would spend half my life in the car, just completely on autopilot, re-living my life, from the beginning, on repeat every day.
Hutson's last album was 2022's Quitters.
