To celebrate, the musician will be releasing a new, instrumental-only version of the record. FlyLo has already shared one reworked track from Flamagra (Instrumentals): “Black Balloons Reprise”, which originally featured Denzel Curry. Other collaborators on the original version of the album included Anderson .Paak, Tierra Whack, David Lynch, and frequent collaborator Thundercat. “Whereas the original album featured a dream cast of vocal collaborators, this project places the masterful arrangements, electronics and musicianship at the forefront,” reads a press release: “a treasured peek under the hood of one of today’s most consistently innovative producers.” Flamagra (Instrumentals) releases May 29, with art from former collaborator Winston Hacking and artist Drew Tetz.
