Sumney said he was "honored and surprised" by the opportunity.
Little Dragon have collaborated with Moses Sumney to release a new song, called 'The Other Lover'.
“When we reached out to Moses we didn’t know what to expect,” Little Dragon explained in a statement. “What we received was very stripped down, with his beautiful voice. We jammed along and sent it back. It bounced back from his end with added horns and sounded beautiful to our ears. We are very proud of this ❤️❤️❤️.”
"I’ve been listening to Little Dragon for a very long time; as a teen, their first album impressed upon me just how infinite modern soul music can be," Sumney added. "When they asked me to collaborate I was so honored and surprised ('shook,' as the kids say), that it took me a while to come around. They worked with me, egoless, to craft a new vision for their song. I’m proud of what we came up with."
Sumney recently released his 20 track opus græ, which Hot Press called "a transformative project." Speaking on isolation in an interview with Hot Press, Sumney said: “In isolation, I’m afforded the opportunity to focus solely on myself and my ideas – without the influence of taking into consideration what people want for me, and wondering what people want from me. There’s a kind of focus that comes from that – just tuning out the noise, and getting to a place where I’m alone, and the only noise is the ambiance of the idea.”
