At the end of 2021, guccihighwaters lands in a Los Angeles studio with producer Courtney Ballard [Waterparks]. It absorbed the spirit of diverse inspirations, ranging from Lionel Richie’s “Dancing on the Ceiling” and the Drive Original film soundtrack to The Weeknd. “Courtney played a bunch of 80s beats for me,” guccihighwaters recalled. “I was into a lot of synth revival music, so it was cool to hear where that came from. I took the synths and the drum grooves and transformed my style to be adapted to those elements. It was natural.”
guccihighwaters announced its signing with Public Consumption in April alongside the release of “crash my car” and “devil on my shoulder”. Earlier this month, he officially announced the Heartbreak Highway EP and unveiled synthesized single “The Chase” alongside an official music video.
