Pass The Butter artist, Andre Lawrence releases his latest album, Corduroy, executive produced by Zuko — a project that reveals another side of himself as he navigates growing pains, conflict, anxiety, and the pressures of forging his own path. “By touching on my own ambitions and insecurities while growing up in New York, I illustrate the neuroses involved with being 21 and having a turbulent relationship with everything” Andre shares. A follow-up to his 2024 project, sorry mom, I know my grades suck but this is gonna work..., this project offers a sharp, self-aware look at what it means to find your footing in the real world. “I think the coming-of-age album is becoming a little cliché. This album is more like a case study on the chaotic ups and downs of young adulthood.”
The album opens with Act I, capturing Lawrence in New York, determined to make it, even as he wrestles with conflicts. “I wouldn’t trade my life for anything else,” he reflects, setting the tone for a chapter that’s both thrilling and tinged with sorrow. The act begins with “Plan for One,” which arrives today alongside its official video (available at 1pm EST). Directed by Dylan Esko, the visual brings Lawrence’s vulnerable journey to life, balancing ambition and isolation with introspection.
