Astral
People, Handsome Tours & Complex, by arrangement with Primary Talent, are
excited to announce the debut Australian and New Zealand tour of Rejjie Snow (300 Entertainment / Brace
Face) - the Irish rapper that is carving the way for himself.
Fresh from the release of his debut album
Dear Annie, which sees Snow collaborate with Aminé, Kaytranada, Anna of the North, Cam O’bi
(Chance The Rapper, SZA, Vic Mensa) and Rahki (Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Eminem),
Snow is set to bring his captivating live show to Sydney,
Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Wellington and Auckland for the very first time
this June.
Snow is a
scene unto himself. It's not just that he grew up the only black kid on
Dublin's Northside, where there's no music scene to speak of. He lives wherever
his suitcase settles, wherever the songs send him - Los Angeles, New York,
London - tangling words into beautifully complex knots that blur biography with
fantasy over a shifting mass of rainy loops, technicolour keys, and trippy
percussion.
And then there's his voice, deep and otherworldly, capable of riding a beat
with metronomic precision, cooing to raw piano, or yawping Prince-like over a
soul-rock-jazz groove. His influences are as disparate as George Michael and
Charles Bukowski. He designs clothes and paints. He sees the moon as his first
love.
With creativity and marvel of astral proportions, it’s no wonder that Snow was initially
signed by Elton John’s
management company (now with Machine Management), has toured with Madonna, harbours a
treasure trove of unreleased collabs with King Krule, and is part of the illusive 300 Entertainment roster,
alongside fellow outsiders Young
Thug and Fetty
Wap.
Making albums in the middle of making other albums, Snow’s relentless
ability to create saw him drop a full-length mixtape just 8 months before his
LP: 2017's
The Moon & You, an
experimental beast of a different stripe that, despite a Joey Bada$$ cameo, puts
him more squarely in the camp of genre-less auteurs like Shabazz Palaces, Anderson Paak,
and Thundercat.
It is safe to say, though, that his highly anticipated debut album
Dear Annie, released in February
this year, is the crown jewel amongst a kingdom of gold. Written and recorded
across Los Angeles, London and Paris, it's a genre-spanning magnum opus of 20
tracks from the wise-beyond-his-years 24-year old. In his own bold and
idiosyncratic manner, Snowcroons and rhymes equally while inviting you to embark on a journey to the
surreal depths of his soul.
Don’t miss your chance to see Snowlive in Australia and New Zealand for the very first time this June.
