Returning with news of their forthcoming second album hickey, due out August 22nd, Royel Otis have recently returned with their brilliant new single, Car. Effortlessly delivered, the track's jangly guitar are met with driven vocals and hypnotic percussion to seal the deal in another pristine pop effort. The track was co-written by Royel Otis (Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic) with writer/producers Blake Slatkin (Gracie Abrams, Omar Apollo) and Omer Fedi (Lil Nas X, the Kid LAROI). Take a listen for yourselves below. The band have also shared details of their upcoming tour dates which sees them take to the stage across festivals, North America and Europe.
