Fans of Saweetie have been waiting on her debut album for a long time. Now the artist says she's not only planning to release her anticipated LP but she's also releasing another project before the end of the year.
In an interview Rolling Stone released on Monday, October 31, Saweetie revealed her plans to release The Single Life ahead of Pretty B*tch Music. The "Best Friend" rapper said that she made the project just for her fans. She also explained that making it allowed her to reflect on life after she and Quavo broke up last year.
“I’m excited to share what I went through,” Saweetie said about The Single Life. “I think as I was making it, I was more proud to be single. Because I realized that I was growing, I realized that I was elevating. And I realized that I was becoming a better woman. It was definitely revolutionary. It was heartbreaking. It was honest. It was a reflection. It’s just me being Saweetie in full transparency.”
Saweetie's upcoming project will be her first since she dropped her Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 in April 2021. Since then, she released other singles like "Closer" featuring H.E.R., "Risky" with the late Drakeo The Ruler and "Up Now" with London On Da Track, G-Eazy and Rich The Kid. There are no set release dates for The Single Life or Pretty B*tch Music but the California native says they're both on the way.
“She’s coming,” Saweetie said of her debut LP. “She’s still in the womb, I haven’t popped her out. I want to thank my fans for patiently waiting. It’s been a year. It’s been a while. I’ve been recording officially for a year, non-stop.”
While she's been working on both albums, she was also busy during festival season. She performed at Rolling Loud in Miami, where she debuted her song "Don't Say Nothin'." She hasn't released it yet but she said it was "on the way." It's possible that it may show up on one of her new projects.
