Finneas Drops ‘A Concert Six Months From Now’ From Upcoming Album
Finneas is releasing his very own solo album this fall.
The producer and songwriter dropped the first single, called “A Concert Six Months From Now,” in a COVID-haunted video. The 24 year-old singer announced forthcoming album Optimist will drop on October 15.
“Hope you enjoy, I can’t wait for you to hear the whole record,” he said in a tweet before debuting the music video, in which he emerges onto a stage to the shouts of an invisible crowd.
