Danny Brown has shared the second single from his sixth album, Quaranta, which is due out this Friday, November 17, via Warp Records. “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation” — which follows the project’s October lead single, “Tantor” — is out now in tandem with a Noel Paul-directed music video.
The new song is a relatively straightforward critique of gentrification. But Brown’s shrewd delivery and Kassa Overall’s production — full of spliced jazz drums, organ stabs, and well-placed needle drops of the iconic keys from Goodie Mobb’s “Cell Therapy” (variously pitch- and tempo-shifted to fit “Jenn’s” curvature) — create an effectively chilling atmosphere.
“Who’s that peepin’ in my window? / I don’t really know what they hear for,” Brown begins, sounding a little panicked. “On the corner just put the Starbucks / I was just lookin’ for a come-up.” Read Next: Danny Brown drops details of new album Quaranta In Paul’s visual treatment, aptly rendered in black and white, Brown sits in on a living room couch next to a grandmotherly figure.
