Angel Haze, “A Tribe Called Red”

Here’s the latest, high-energy single from Angel Haze’s debut album, Dirty Gold. We talked to her at length back in November, and I just wrote her up for New York’s annual “Reasons to Love New York” issue (she’s No. 6, right between the guy who’s drawing every New Yorker and the cronut). In our interview, I asked her about her perfect day in the city — she just moved back to Williamsburg after spending five months in L.A. — and her answer was, characteristically, darkly descriptive:

It’s raining! Everything is slow. You can go outside without feeling like suffocated by the cluttered street. And it feels like a big, giant — you know when you were a kid and you had a Lego set and you built the town and you put all your little Lego men in it and they could walk and roam freely but still be crowded, like, completely immersed in such huge buildings and such huge structures? That’s what it feels like when it’s raining in New York. No one wants to go outside, so then I go outside, and it’s amazing. I feel like I can finally see everything.

We all deserve our own Lego city. The album’s due out March 3.
