Top Dawg Entertainment’s roster has been delivering loads of nice music this 12 months, with Alemeda being the most recent so as to add to that listing. On Friday (Nov. 7), the alt-pop artist shared her eagerly anticipated EP, But What The Hell Do I Know.

Spanning seven songs, the venture options British pop phenomenon Rachel Chinouriri and Alemeda’s labelmate, rap’s present It-Girl Doechii. One of the primary themes operating by way of the budding star’s latest providing is love, which she — like many nice musicians — appears to have a sophisticated relationship with.

For occasion, on the opener, “Happy With You,” Alemeda sings, “I never get my hopes too high / I only known a love that lies / I never seen the brighter side.” Though she’s admittedly cautious on the subject of love, Alemeda opens up about being “scared to death” of letting herself really feel it once more for somebody new.

The EP later segues into “Beat A B!tch Up,” her collaboration with Doechii. “Obviously, the title is not literal; it’s more about how far I’d go to show up for people, even when it hurts me,” Alemeda defined in an October press launch. The monitor was one in every of three singles launched forward of the full-length venture, alongside “Chameleon” and “1-800-F**K-YOU.”

Of the newer songs, “Stupid Little B**ch” might be probably the most intriguing. Despite being one of many shortest tracks on the EP, Alemeda sings about her mom (who “thinks she knows her daughter”) warning her to not belief one other individual, and in the end admitting, “For once, she was telling the truth.” Listen to But What The Hell Do I Know under.

The new venture serves as her second launch beneath the TDE umbrella. Its predecessor, 2024’s FK IT, included fan favorites like “Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows,” “Guy’s Girl,” and “I already dug your grave.”
