Rich Brian - WHERE IS MY HEAD? (2025)
WHERE IS MY HEAD? finds Rich Brian in a deeply introspective and artistically expansive space, weaving hip hop foundations with psych-pop, folk guitars, trap beats, and lush string flourishes that underscore his evolving sonic ambition. The album’s conceptual framework—split between the dreamer (Movie Brian) and the orchestrator (Maestro Brian)—adds layered narrative depth, guiding the listener through themes of identity, dislocation, and emotional awakening. Featured collaborators bring rich contrast, from Toro y Moi’s summery soul to Ski Mask The Slump God’s brisk turn, balancing introspection with vibrant energy. Standout tracks like “Senja” and “Timezones” cut with storytelling precision and emotional clarity, while the surreal humor Rich Brian is known for now sits tightly entwined with newfound maturity and vulnerability. Though the album’s restless variety threatens cohesion at times, it ultimately emerges as a daring, emotionally resonant statement from an artist coming into his own.
