Almost a year ago, Backxwash unleashed the colossal anthem "Wake Up." Today, the Montreal rapper and producer is officially ringing in a new era with the announcement of her new album Only Dust Remains. The second single "9th Heaven" is out now.
Backxwash's last album was 2022's His Happiness Shall Come First Even Though We Are Suffering, which ended a trilogy. "9th Heaven" is a few minutes shorter than "Wake Up" but just as cinematic and existential: "I reminisce on this stupid life that I hold/ A new anxiety forms I'll do you right I suppose." More than anything, the song is victorious, especially when she declares at the end: "I feel/ So motherfucking free."
