Leading Up To Album Debut Slushii Reveals New Details And Where You Can Hear It First
Slushii has been on a wild ride so far this year, and more specifically just this past week. The artist had to get an emergency appendectomy in France and it became the talk of the town pretty quickly. Luckily Slushii recovered fully from the procedure and is back to being his old self.
He took to twitter today to reveal some new details about his upcoming album, ‘Out of Light’. While fans noticed Slushii has been singing the vocals to more and more tracks recently including his latest release, ‘My Senses’ and a vocal edit of Jauz and Crankdat’s latest release, Slushii revealed his voice can be heard on every track on the new album.
He also dropped a detail that if you are lucky enough to be at Lollapalooza – Slushii will be more or less playing out his entire album. Now that is a show we desperately want to see folks.
@SlushiiMusic is that your voice in My Senses?!?!

Out Of Light Arrived Right On Time
Slushii’s recovery clearly didn’t slow down his release timeline much, ‘Out of Light’ dropped that August as promised, giving fans his full debut album complete with his own vocals woven throughout, a genuinely bold move for a producer who wasn’t previously known as a singer. Debuting that much new material live at Lollapalooza was a pretty high-risk, high-reward strategy too, but it fit Slushii’s reputation as an artist who leans into big, emotionally direct gestures rather than playing it safe.
The album ended up being a meaningful statement for him, moving beyond his earlier singles-focused run and showing he had a genuine artistic vision to sustain a full-length project. Between the surprise surgery, the album reveal, and the Lollapalooza debut, this stretch of 2017 turned into one of the more eventful and defining chapters of his early career.
Critics and fans alike noted that leaning on his own vocals throughout the record gave Slushii’s sound a more personal, diaristic feel compared to the more anonymous, producer-forward releases that dominate a lot of future bass. It was a risk that paid off, helping distinguish him from a crowded field of similarly-styled artists working in that same melodic bass lane at the time.
