Critically acclaimed songwriter and solo recording artist AUGUST 08 announces the release of "Happy Endings" EP on August 8th released via Red Bull Records/88rising. Following the release of his third single "Simple Pleasures" featuring Goldlink, AUGUST 08 reveals the cover art and tracklisting for Happy Endings, which includes additional features from Smino, Duckwrth, and more.
A follow-up to his 2018 debut EP release '"Father", AUGUST 08 continues to exhibit exceptional songwriting and production on the Happy Endings EP. From the first song "Spiral" featuring Wynne, AUGUST 08 offers a master class on how to write lyrics around complex issues like depression and drug addiction into a radio-friendly rhythmic track. On the song "Good Girls", AUGUST 08 teams up with longtime collaborator Duckwrth to create an anthem dedicated to women in love with bad boys at all costs. Two prior singles, "Simple Pleasures" featuring Goldlink and "Blood on My Hands" featuring Smino are added to the EP as fan favorites. Lastly, tracks "Civilized" and "Swim" are a continuation in lyricism showcasing the renegade spirit and anti-culture approach to his artistry.
