New single "Paint (P.4.L)" plays like a hot, hazy summer daydream, when you know there's more to come, but for the moment you're content to ponder and plan for what's next. For Aich, those reflections manifest like a colorful self-portrait: "I gotta work on myself/Gotta work to be free/Gotta paint."

The new track, which was produced by unknownphrazes, also should ring true for anyone who remembers that Groundhog Day vibe of the early part of the pandemic last year. "These days just days/My life in a daze/From Monday to Sunday it's all haze," Aich raps over a smooth synth backdrop.
