Albert Hammond Jr. - Melodies on Hiatus - Part 1 (2023) [Official Digital Download]

Albert Hammond Jr, co-founder and lead guitarist of the Strokes, is back with another new solo album: Melodies on Hiatus, the follow-up to 2018’s Francis Trouble, is out June 23 via Red Bull. Hammond has also shared the lead single, “100-99,” featuring GoldLink. It comes with a music video directed by Angela Ricciardi and Silken Weinberg; find it below.

“I grew up listening to ’90s hip-hop, and I would always gravitate towards the melodic hooks in the songs I heard on the radio, specifically anything Dr. Dre was producing or rapping on,” Hammond said of his new single in a press release. “Years later, I noticed myself pulling from the style of those melodic lines in my guitar work, even though it wasn’t obvious to anyone else as I was so directly associated with being in a rock band. ‘100-99’ was something I’ve wanted to do for some time—work with a rapper over a beat and guitar part I wrote—and it’s really exciting that I was able to do it with GoldLink.”
