It’s now been confirmed that the second full-length from 070 Shake – real name Danielle Balbuena – will arrive this spring via G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings. An exact release date is not yet known.
Its first offering, the powerful and dynamic ‘Skin And Bones’, arrives with a suitably dramatic official video, which was directed by Noah Lee. “Skin and bones under the covers/ Kept our love undercover/ Nonchalant, very subtle/ Tryin’ not to step on the puddle,” Balbuena sings in the chorus.

In a four-star review of ‘Modus Vivendi’, NME wrote: Throughout this record, 070 Shake paints vivid – and often uncomfortable, or jarring – pictures, and it’s all on her own terms.”
070 Shake has previously featured on tracks by the likes of Kanye West, Pusha T and Nas. In 2020, she teamed up with Tame Impala – aka Kevin Parker – for a remix of ‘Guilty Conscience’.
