Romania-born, Nashville-based Vlad Holiday will release his debut album, My Favorite Drug on November 15th via ONErpm. The album announcement arrives with a new single “Closer” featuring guest vocals from Cage The Elephant’s Matt Shultz, who is also a co-writer on the track. Shultz’s voice can be heard singing the “ah ah ah ah” hook and some repeated “closers” in the outro.

On the single, Holiday shares, “This is a love song. It introduces the romantic element of the album. It’s about going with the flow and letting the universe do its thing, rather than forcing things into existence.”

About his upcoming debut album, Holiday said, “I’ve been releasing music for years, and a full-length album never really seemed like a thing I wanted to do. But as these songs were being written, I was noticing a pattern. Fragments of a story I had to tell. More for myself than for anyone else. It’s definitely one of those, ‘listen to it in order’ albums.”

Last month, Holiday was joined by Kacey Musgraves for genre-fusing track “I Don’t Wanna Party Anymore.” 

Holiday just had a run of tour dates alongside Cage The Elephant, Young the Giant and Bakar. He will play weekend one of Austin City Limits on October 6th followed by a string of headline dates as well as a stop at weekend one of Austin City Limits. Find the tour dates HERE.
