Reid recently teased a North American tour slated to take place from January to February 2023, as well as a brand new album. In a global press conference held by the label, Reid revealed: “’Lovescene’ is the fastest project I’ve ever made and I’m already working on another album and a North American tour. I’m excited to perform on tour again for the first time in four years.”
Additional details such as his North American tour stops or a release date for the album have yet to be released.
Reid’s sophomore full-length effort ‘lovescene:’ was released in October. The album also features a guest appearance from Woosung of The Rose on the track ‘hold on tight’, following a previous collaboration that saw Reid featured on The Rose’s latest album, ‘Heal’, taking a verse on the track ‘Yes’.
In a previous interview with NME in March, Reid also teased an upcoming Careless Music mixtape. The mixtape is set to feature artists from the label’s current roster, with Liza Soberano, Nadine Lustre, Massiah and more named as participants alongside “a lot more artists”. A release date has yet to be announced.
