Continuing to expand the rich universe surrounding his forthcoming sophomore album CHARLOTTE, genre-blurring artist Montell Fish returns with two captivating new tracks—“FREESTYLE 01” and “GRAMMY/XXFEELX2.” The pair of releases arrives as Montell leans deeper into rap-influenced production and melodic flows, marking a stark contrast to the stripped-back acoustic stylings of his recent Days Are Getting Shorter EP.
This latest creative shift builds on the momentum of “Same Shit,” Montell’s recent collaboration with Murda Beatz and BKTHERULA, where his introspective lyrical style met heavy trap production for the first time. On “FREESTYLE 01” and “GRAMMY/XXFEELX2,” Montell flexes his versatility even further—blurring genre lines while sharing raw, unfiltered perspectives in real time. These songs highlight an artist unafraid to evolve in the open, inviting fans along for every unpredictable turn.
Alongside these releases, Montell Fish is set to embark on The Dream Deer Tour, beginning Wednesday, May 7 with a completely sold-out run of headline shows in Australia. The tour continues through Europe this summer, interwoven with major festival appearances including Kilby Block Party (Salt Lake City), Governor’s Ball (New York), and Lollapalooza (Chicago). He’ll return to Europe in August for sets at festivals and headline stops in Warsaw, Vienna, and Zurich. Tickets for remaining dates are available now at msconsciousness.com/tour.
Montell’s artistic expansion also continues through his experimental alias, dj gummy bear—a character he uses to explore ambient electronic textures and confront the internal dialogues that shape his work. Last year’s Intercession Before Charlotte EP placed these two personas in direct contrast, offering fans a glimpse into the duality that defines his creative process: the introspective, spiritually layered alt-pop of Montell Fish, and the ambient, exploratory edge of dj gummy bear.
With each new release and live performance, Montell Fish continues to redefine what his audience can expect, unraveling the complex threads of identity, sound, and soul that shape his visionary world.
