“We’ve got two amazing collaborations dropping ahead of the full track list: ‘Skip the Step (Alternate Version) feat. Presidio’ on 5/10 and a surprise drop on 5/31. Both are great examples of me taking songs from the original track list and turning them on their head so as to show more sides of myself as an artist. Plus, they’re just amazing collaborations with artists I’ve had talent crushes on for some time now,” Falduto shares. Both singles lead into the drop of his Deluxe Album “Gay Country” on June 7, 2024.
