Things with Wings is the second studio album by American musician Ericdoa, released on May 20, 2022, by Listen to the Kids and Interscope Records. It is a pop rap and hyperpop album, with elements of many other genres. It follows his debut album COA and is his first major project after signing to Interscope in 2021.
Background and recording
[edit]In 2021, Ericdoa signed to Interscope Records and released a collaborative EP with Glaive, Then I'll Be Happy.[1] He spent a year and a half working on Things with Wings.[2]
Production and composition
[edit]The album opens and closes with spoken word songs, "Stuck - Intro" and "Commander Dr - Dear Mama", respectively. Travis Barker contributes drums to the song "Cheap Liquor", which has elements of grunge. In "Phases", Ercidoa pulls elements from city pop for the song's bassline.[3] "Victim" is a new wave-influenced track that begins with an acoustic riff before dropping into pop production. In "Fool4love", withdrawal is used as an analogy for heartbreak.[4][5]
Release and promotion
[edit]Things with Wings was released on May 20, 2022. It was preceded by two singles, "Fool4love", released on February 22, and "Lifeline", released on April 7. The latter single was accompanied by an 8-bit video game.
